SUMMARY

One of the 500 limited edition Sport 500 models built to bookmark the end of 'Classic' Mini production.

DESCRIPTION

  • Following Rover’s decision to end the “Classic” range of Minis, the manufacturer decided to offer a limited edition Mini Cooper Sport 500
  • Production was limited to just 500 cars and was billed as the last chance to purchase Alec Issigonis’ classic Mini design
  • All were powered by a 62bhp, four-cylinder, 1.2-litre engine and sat on 13-inch alloy wheels 
  • Unique features included a high-level brake light, four spot lamps, a certificate and a plaque inside the glove box, an alloy gear knob, window winders, dashboard, door pulls and door handles
  • Finished in Anthracite Black with a black and silver interior, it's been with its current custodian since 2016 with just two previous keepers
  • 40,300 miles, last service in December 2021 and the MOT is valid until December this year
  • Entered on a No Reserve basis, this collectable Mini is certainly due to generate good interest.
