The vendor has provided the following:

Purchased for my Wife from New in 2000 in the Last Year of Production, the Build Month being JUNE of that Year with the last MINI Rolling off the Production line in OCTOBER.

In British Racing Green it is now in its 24th Year.The MINI is as it left the Production Line apart from a cigarette lighter adaptor fitted to power a TOM TOM ONE Sat Nav. Also includes a Parrot Mobile Phone Speaker. The Original MINI Branded Radio Cassette Player is working however the 'Press' Buttons do not allow the Input of the Security Code thus not allowing the Radio to operate as normal.I am however including a Spare Unit however this does not include a Security Code, however I do understand that these can be obtained from the Internet.

The MINI has Branded Cooper Floor Mats and also original Tools & Tyre Jack and Spare Wheel.

The Exterior is as it left the Production Line & includes FOUR Branded Cooper Spotlight Covers for the Integral Fog Lamps. Overall the Bodywork is in Excellent Condition, on top of the Front Drivers Wing there are a few 'Pin Prick' Surface Paint erosion.

At the recent MOT it was noted as an Advisory that there was corrosion on the Left & Right Sill which has been rectified & treated by a Garage from FRONT to REAR with BOTTOMGUARD UNDERBODY PROTECTION.

Mechanically the Car runs very well and in 2023 New Shock Absorbers were fitted Front & Rear.When Cold there is a slight miss engagement when shifting from 3rd to 2nd however this is intermittent and the Gearbox is otherwise smooth.

With my Motorsport Involvement the late PADDY HOPKIRK (Protected by Plastic Film) has signed the Brushed Aluminium Glove Box Dash together with RAUNO AALTONEN. STUART TURNER who was Competition Manager for BMC in the 60's together with Paddy have signed the Leather Mini Handbook Case, it is Stuart who successfully managed the HAT-TRICK of MINI COOPER Victories at the Monte Carlo Rallies with PADDY in 1964, TIMO MAKKINEN in 1965 & RAUNO in 1967. Further to this I met DOUG ADAMS at MINI 50 LONGBRIDGE and he kindly signed the DRIVERS MANUAL.He worked alongside ISSIGONIS as his CHIEF ENGINEER and an article detailing the important role he played in the MINI Development is included.

I am also including various Memorabilia in the VEHICLE SALE which includes an original Mini Owners Manual. Italian Job VHS Video signed by DAVID SALAMONE who had the role of DOMINIC the Personal Getaway Driver in the Red Mini Cooper for CHARLIE CROKER (Sir Michael Caine) in the 1969 Film. Original ROVER Brochures from the Last Year of Production. Branded COOPER 'Dust Cover' for the Exterior.
