AI Listing Summary

This 2001 Rover Mini Cooper Sport 500, one of only 500 produced, is a rare and collectible find. Finished in Solar Red with a Platinum Silver roof, it features a black and Nickel Silver leather interior, recent mechanical recommissioning, and a well-preserved undercarriage, making it an appealing classic Mini.

Condition

8

The car is described as having bodywork that appears straight and well-aligned, with correct panel gaps and brightwork/trim in excellent condition. The undercarriage is well-preserved with no corrosion concerns noted in its MoT history. Recent recommissioning work of approximately £4,000 has been invested, and it is freshly serviced with a long MoT. However, it is a 2001 car, so it will have undergone some wear and tear which means it cannot be rated higher than Excellent.
