Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1997 Rover Mini Cooper, a late example of the classic design, is finished in Metallic Volcano Orange with a white cap and stripes. Recent maintenance records and a long MOT until September 2026 suggest good mechanical condition, but limited earlier history may be a consideration for some buyers.
Condition
7
The car is described as a striking example, suggesting it's in good condition. There's mention of invoices for maintenance back to 2014 and recent brake work, indicating it's been cared for. However, there's very little history prior to 2014, and slight wear is visible in paint, interior, or wheels which places it at Very Good, and it requires minor reconditioning.
