Description
MOT – March 2026 ‘G444 WLM’ started life as a limited edition Mini Rose, of which just 400 were thought to have been made.
From new, however, ‘G444 WLM’ was professionally converted to a cabriolet specification with a roll over bar fitted along with additional strengthening and a hood.
This, of course, makes it a very rare Mini indeed.
‘G444 WLM’s’ current owner is the sixth to date having acquired the Mini in January 2017 with a modest 68,000 miles covered so far.
‘G444 WLM’ has benefitted from plenty of work over the years, including a restoration about 5 years ago.
This included a respray, as well as attention to the engine and brakes.
‘G444 WLM’ is currently SORN but does have a 12 months mot.
Offered here with no reserve.
This rare Mini looks distinctive with its Surrey Top style hood and bright white livery.
This is complemented by black wheel arch extensions and matt black painted bumpers.
A sporty set of RSP Minilite style alloy wheels are also fitted.
