The Mini bravely soldiered on during the 1970s and 1980s, defying the hatchback onslaught year after year and seeing off any threat of production cessation. Such was its defiance in an increasingly sophisticated market parent company Rover re-introduced the Cooper name with the Cooper RSP, a 1650-units limited edition of which 1050 cars were for the domestic market. Our vendor says the previous owner ensured the car was well looked after. It comes to the sale with vendor-assessed very good bodywork and its black paint (this being the rarer colour for the RSP), trim and glass are all said to be very good.
The black and red interior has vendor-assessed good seats and very good headlining, trim, door cards and dashboard. Engine starting is ranked as excellent and its running and presentation as very good, and the running gear is said to be very good, as are the electrics. Limited-edition re-introduction of the Mini Cooper that is said to very good mechanically and bodily. To Schedule a video condition report for this lot please click here
