This exquisite little car boasts two rather fanatical owners: The comprehensive history file includes the cars original German Purchase Order from October 2000, supplied by Rover/MG/Land-Rover dealer F. J. Kempen in Cologne, for a total of €25,800. From there, the car would be preserved in a Perma-Bag, only emerging on a couple of occasions for some routine maintenance. Finding its second owner in 2007, it would then embark on a venture like no other, to finally appear as the stunning collector’s piece we see today. An incredible amount of money has been spent on the car which we will attempt to list below but, it goes without saying, that with just 2871 kilometers, it has been treated with the utmost care which was kick-started with a cool €1500 recommissioning process. Plenty of TÜV confirmations from 2007 onwards confirm the second owner’s utter commitment. Used only on fine weather days, the huge amount of money spent, corroborate his passionate ownership. The car comes with its original Mini brochure which is so quirky it’s quite ridiculous and two sets of keys with two remotes for the factory immobiliser. Make no mistake, this is a real collectors piece and simply cannot be compared to anything like it!
Exterior
The head turning colour is Sienna Gold Pearlescent and the code is GUF. An over critical and experienced eye will possibly spot a little extra paint on the drivers front wing which was done following a scratch but, importantly, the wing was not replaced. Such was the level of care; one can also spot tiny areas of paint at the bottom of both sills following preservation work. But it must be emphasised that the overall styling is breathtaking: the second owner was keen on chrome, and detail for that matter, and subsequently changed the standard black wipers and washer equipment, along with the side indicators to white glass elements. In contrast, the rear light clusters have also been changed to darkened glass elements. A whopping €600 was spent on the cars additional front fog lights and chrome fittings, with the somewhat boring standard mirrors also being replaced with more chrome and discrete bullet style accessories. In terms of factory options, the chosen electric folding sliding roof was a wise move by the original owner.
