A beautifully preserved example of one of Britain�s most beloved automotive icons, this 1996 Austin Mini Cooper embodies charm, agility, and undeniable character. With just 43,000 original miles, this final-generation Mini has been thoughtfully maintained and tastefully presented, offering a superb blend of collectible appeal and reliable drivability.
Finished in classic British Racing Green with a white roof, the paintwork is striking�rich, glossy, and recently refreshed. The roof displays only a small central blemish, barely perceptible, yet disclosed in the spirit of transparency. Chrome trim throughout gleams with brilliance, and the car rides on authentic 12-inch �telephone style� alloy wheels wrapped in excellent rubber. Rust, often the Achilles� heel of vintage Minis, is notably absent here�this is a dry, solid car ready for years of enjoyment.
Under the hood lies the spirited 1275cc fuel-injected A-Series engine. Featuring a modern MPI ignition system (with no distributor), this setup ensures quick starts and smooth performance. The engine bay is clean and sharply detailed, punctuated by a red aluminum valve cover that adds a tasteful dash of flair. A recent oil and filter service was performed, and there are no leaks to note�another testament to the car�s overall condition.
Inside, the original fabric seats remain in excellent shape, with no rips or stains and wonderfully supportive bolstering�comparable to period Recaros. The carpets and mats are well-kept, the headliner tight and clean, and the cabin as a whole exudes care and preservation. Cold air conditioning, a rarity in any classic Mini, works beautifully and makes this Cooper a more enjoyable driver in any climate.
The trunk compartment is tidy and houses a like-new spare tire. Even the undercarriage and chassis components remain well-presented in black, further indicating the car�s rust-free status and long-term viability as either a collector�s piece or weekend driver.
A truly exceptional Mini that offers vintage styling with late-model upgrades, this 1996 Austin Mini Cooper is a standout in the growing world of classic imports. With values on the rise and supply limited, opportunities like this don�t come around often.
