Mini Cooper (1999) - John Cooper Demonstrator + 1 Owner
Instantly recognised around the world the Rover Cooper represents the on-going evolution of the Mini. The later cars retained the spirit, exhaust note and go-kart driving experience from the 1960’s while adding fuel injection and slightly longer gear ratios – these cars still broke the rules and straightened the bends!
Milestone Classics are delighted to market one of the nicest, most original Rover Mini Coopers available in the UK today. The car was purchased by the current owner from John Cooper Garages Ltd (Ferring) when it was six months old – she started life as a high specification demonstrator and was sold to the owner by John Cooper’s son.
The car has covered just over 40K miles from new - there was a speedo change under warranty when the car was a year old at Beadles (Dartford). The service book has nine garage stamps and in recent years the servicing has been completed by the owner’s husband - cleaning and polishing was completed by the owner.
Purchased in 1999 as an everyday car in recent years the Mini has been used very sparingly for local shows and annually for the London to Brighton club road trip. Today the car presents exceptionally well with very good bodywork and lovely original green interior with a very light patina that we really like.
The exhaust note is utterly addictive and on the road the car is everything an original mini should be – torque steer in first with tyres scabbling for grip (if desired) OR a stunning classic to be polished, used and enjoyed with backup from one of the best and most welcoming car clubs in the UK – the London to Brighton Run in my minivan is my favourite club event of the year.
There is a nice history folder with the car including the original Bill of Sale, Book Pack,contemporary Brochures from John Cooper’s garage, V5’s, MOT’s, invoices, newspaper cutting etc.
Bonnet stripes, spot lamps, minilite wheels, walnut dashboard, green leather piped seats, and lots of chrome evoke a storied past – what is there not to like? Ready to use and enjoy, we recommend early viewing to fully appreciate this charming classic.
