The seller offers for sale this 1999 Mini Limited 40, equipped with a manual gearbox and a 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. The car was imported from Germany in the past and then stored for fifteen years before undergoing a restoration last year. In 2025 it received a professional respray, and the bodywork presents cleanly without scratches or visible rust. The engine starts without issues, produces no smoke and runs without unusual noises. The gearbox shifts smoothly and quietly. The car shows no accident history, has no corrosion and currently holds a valid technical inspection. The interior features full black leather upholstery, a unique aluminium dashboard exclusive to the final two production years and only available on limited editions, and a leather-trimmed top dash. The six magnolia instruments function correctly, and the carpets and headlining are in good condition. Technical fitment includes disc brakes, brake booster, multi-point injection and an airbag. A new set of mats is present, along with the option to purchase an original Mini logo radio/CD unit. According to the seller, a certified valuation from June 2025 places its replacement value at €29,000.
The Mini Limited 40 celebrates one of the final and most desirable iterations of the classic Mini. Produced to commemorate forty years of Mini heritage, this edition combined compact agility with higher-quality materials and distinctive trim features. By the late 1990s, the classic Mini had gained modern updates such as multi-point injection and improved braking, without losing its signature kart-like handling and charming character. Enthusiasts value the Limited editions for their rarity, refined interior details and collectible status. As the last generation before production ended in 2000, these cars offer a blend of nostalgia and improved usability, making them well suited for weekend enjoyment, events or curated collections.
