1999 ROVER MINI COOPER MONZA

1275cc, manual. This lovely Mini Cooper is a rare Monza Limited Edition, which was built for the German market and finished exclusively in Tahiti Blue Metallic. It's powered by the 1.3-litre MPI engine, and the interior features smart black leather trim with a walnut dash.

The car didn’t spend long in Germany, returning to the UK in early 2000, and clearly it has been converted to right-hand drive at some stage. (The VIN confirms that it was originally manufactured in left-hand drive.) It received a body restoration in 2016 and remains in impressive, eye-catching condition, with a long MoT valid to 12th October 2027. The odometer shows 80,045 miles.

The car is supplied with a large collection of receipts covering the mid-2000s up to 2020, showing much expenditure in the 2010s, including a receipt for over £4750 for the bodywork restoration carried out at 57,648 miles in 2016. Previous and current versions of the V5C are also present, indicating 6 former keepers.

The registration number is non-transferable.
