Description

We are pleased to be able to offer this rare and exceptionally original Rover Mini factory-built convertible on behalf of a customer. Finished in the rare colour of British Racing Green Metallic, it dates from the final production year, 1996. With just 56,000 kilometres, it presents rust-free, dry and exceptionally well maintained in a remarkable state of originality.

Only 1,081 examples were produced from July 1993 to August 1996, most of them in Nightfire Red or Caribbean Blue. The body kit and 12-inch Revolution alloy wheels, as well as the Recaro seats and walnut dashboard, were part of the standard equipment. Due to the convertible-specific reinforcements, the convertible weighs around 50 kilograms more than the saloon.

The vehicle was originally registered as a demonstrator for a well-known company and covered just under 2,000 kilometres during its first two years. In 1998, the Mini changed hands to its previous owner, who subsequently drove it only a few kilometres per year. In 2004, the vehicle was completely cavity-sealed by a specialist workshop. In addition, regular servicing and oil changes were carried out.

In 2020, the current owner took over the convertible and has since invested more than 10,000 euros in further refining the vehicle to his specifications. The entire hood, including the tonneau cover, was replaced and the interior extensively refurbished. In addition to the seats, the rear bench and all side panels were also reupholstered in new leather.

The combination of British Racing Green Metallic and the rich saddle-brown leather interior suits the little English car exceptionally well and accentuates its classic character. Together with the low mileage, well-maintained condition and distinctive history, this rare factory-built convertible offers a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking for a special and authentically preserved Mini.

The vehicle can be viewed at any time by prior appointment, allowing us to ensure that the car is at the appropriate location at the relevant time.
