1973 MINI Cooper Mark VII

GR Auto Gallery is please to present this cheeky 1973 Mini Cooper MK VII by Rover. This Mini was built by Rover in the UK as the last production model of the “True Mini”. These end of production, Rover built Mini's, retained the classic small packaging but are also upgraded with a 1275 CC inline 4 cylinder engine fed via fuel injection and managed with electronic ignition. The engines performance is transferred via a 4 speed gear box and applied by front wheel drive technology.
The spirited example offered here is attractively finished in its factory color, Surf Blue exterior paint with white stripes and white painted roof. The car is highly optioned including: Sport Pack Set, Rally Light Package, 12 inch Mini Lite Wheels, Wood Dash, 2 tone interior, door pockets, leather shift knob, JVC stereo and Anti-theft. Cosmetically the car stands extremely tall featuring wonderful exterior paint, excellent trim and glass throughout, the original interior is very tidy including a perfect dash, excellent wood, very cool gauge set etc.
Mechanically, at 51,514 Kilometers / 32,009 miles, the car is spot on. This little Mini has a huge fun factor as the unassisted steering is direct and full of feedback, while the wheel-at-each corner stance and firm suspension gives it outstanding agility and handling and the familiar whine of the 4 speed gearbox and tuneful exhaust enhances the overall motoring experience.
The Mini Mk Vll's by Rover are the most advanced version and the true Mini's of the UK. Built between 1998 and 2000, they encompass the same lovable character that made the original 1961 original such a smashing hit. For this reason, these cars are collectible and are considered investments. In this case, size truly does not matter. This Rover Mini is titled as a 1973.
