The seller offers for sale a Rover Mini Cooper Sport from 2000, equipped with a manual transmission and a 1.3 liter four-cylinder petrol engine. This car is among the final left-hand-drive Cooper Sport examples produced and its chassis number confirms it was built near the end of Mini production. The car has had three owners and has always been stored in a dry, warm garage. It starts easily, the engine runs well, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. Maintenance and road inspection were carried out in May 2025, with the recorded mileage documented at that time. The paintwork presents attractively with normal signs of use consistent with age, and the interior features a special two-tone leather finish with sport and aluminum trim elements. All instruments and interior functions operate as intended. The current verified milage is 117.500 km and the car holds a valid technical inspection.
The Rover Mini Cooper Sport represents the final evolution of a model that shaped small car culture for decades. Originally introduced as a compact and efficient city car, the Mini became an icon through its agile handling, clever packaging, and unmistakable design. The Cooper variants added a sportier character, making the Mini popular both on the road and in motorsport. By the late 1990s, the Cooper Sport combined classic styling with improved safety features and equipment, while preserving the engaging driving feel that made the Mini famous. Today, late-production Minis like this Cooper Sport are valued for their originality, character, and connection to the end of an important chapter in British automotive history.
