We are very pleased to offer a stunning 1999 Rover Mini Sportspack in gleaming metallic Anthracite black with a contrasting cream leather interior. This is a genuine non Cooper Sportspack produced by Rover for only a year in three different colours, Knightfire Red, Old English White and my favourite, Anhhracite making them very rare, the single colour gives them classy subtle looks.

This example has only covered 34k in 27 years and has been maintained by us for the last six years. It is accompanied with its original handbook, service book and both sets of keys and fobs. Registered new by Quicks of Coventry and proudly wearing its original supplying dealer window sticker and registration plate and tax disc holder.

On the road the Mini drives very well, the low mileage engine is very responsive and the gearbox is taught and precise. Performance is brisk and it is happy on the twisty stuff and easily keeps up with modern traffic. We have just fitted new suspension cones all round, adjustable height suspension, new shock absorbers, steering rack and brakes, so it has that legendary Mini handling with excellent stopping power. A Maniflow exhaust gives it a subtle burble. This is a Multi point fuel injected Mini, so simple to use, simply turn the key and go. Features include a drivers Airbag, side impact beams, an alarm and immobiliser and taller gearing making long distance cruising a breeze. They offer all of the Classic Mini charm with a modern twist. This model also has servo operated disc brakes and rear seat belts.

The interior is beautifully presented and has that wonderful cream Cobra interior and matching door cards which really make it stand out from the crowd. The seats are very comfortable and offer excellent support. It also has a full length walnut dash with Magnolia dials and the original Rover cassette player.

The Mini has a very solid shell with the correct vented sills, solid floors and subframes. This is an unrestored Mini and it wears its 27 year vintage very well. The paintwork is gleaming and in the sunlight the Anthracite really pops in the sun. This is a very good looking Mini that gets lots of rightly deserved attention.

The Mini has been serviced, checked, tuned and driven and has a full no advisory MOT.
