1974 MINI Cooper

GR Auto Gallery is please to present this Cheeky 1974 Mini Cooper MK VII by Rover. This Mini was built in 2000 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 manual gear box and applied by front wheel drive technology.
Just acquired from a private collection, this low mile example offered here is attractively finished in its factory color, British Racing Green exterior paint with Ivory roof and stripes. The car is highly optioned including: Roll Back Roof, Sport Pack Set, Rally Light Package, Left Hand Drive, 12 inch Mini Lite wheels, Beautiful Wood Dash, Recessed Ivory Gauges, Two Tone Leather Interior, Leather Shift knob, Pioneer Sound System, Anti-theft etc. At just 7439 original miles the car remains virtually new in all areas featuring outstanding original exterior paint, excellent glass and trim throughout, the original interior is wonderful on all surfaces including perfect dash, near flawless wood, excellent gauges, excellent leather, trim and carpets etc.
Mechanically, the car is spot on and spirited. This little Mini has a huge fun factor as the unassisted steering is direct and full of feedback, while the weal-at-each corner stance coupled with firm suspension gives it outstanding agility and handling capabilities; the familiar whine on the 4-speed gearbox and tuneful exhaust enhances the overall motoring experience.
The Mini MKVII's by Rover are the most advanced version of the true Mini's of the UK. Built between 1998 and 2000, they encompass the same lovable character that made the original 1961 such a smashing hit. For this reason, these cars are highly collectible and considered excellent automotive investments. In this case, size truly does not matter. This Rover Mini is titled as a 1974.
