1993 ROVER MINI RIO

The Rover Mini Rio was a limited edition model, comprising of 750 cars in three colours;  Black, Polynesian Turquoise Metallic and Pearlescent Caribbean Blue. This example was registered in October 1993 and has six registered keepers on its V5C. Its MoT is valid to September 2025 and its odometer shows 59,927 miles. One year before its last MoT, the car was recommissioned and some restoration work done, including the brake drums refurbished and new front calipers, the alloys refurbished and finished in white (to match the roof), all the floorpan surface rust removed and repainted, along with the rear subframe, new air box and filter fitted, and engine set up. There's also been new front indicator lenses, new chrome trim fitted in window rubber surrounds and new black plastic trim on the roof guttering. A new heater matrix and pipes have been fitted, new gaskets fitted on the clutch fluid reservoir, the carburettor cleaned and tuned for emissions, new indicator/light stalk fitted, engine and engine bay tidied up and the boot floor cleaned and then repainted. 

It hasn't been driven much since its MoT but everything mechanical and electrical is said to be operating okay. The car is believed to have spent some time in France as there are some French invoices in the history file. Paperwork includes the V5C, MoT certificates back to 1997 and assorted invoices.
