1990 Classic Mainstream Mini Cooper For Sale

The Mainstream Cooper refers specifically to the carburretor model of the Cooper that was relaunched into full production in September 1990. It followed the successful Cooper RSP, and was later upgraded to fuel injection in October 1991. Because of the short production time of the carburettor Coopers, only 1650 were produced.
Unfortunately due to the poor paint and body protection these early cars suffered horrendously with rust and this car was no exception. The doors were rusted beyond economical repair, the floor panels were rusted along with the boot floor and boot lid, the scuttle panel below the windscreen was rusted.
With this in mind I decided to rebuild the car with a brand new British Motor Heritage body shell. The car was then treated to a first class paint refinish; the whole shell was etch primed then painted with a high build 2k primer, then completely seam sealed. The underneath was painted with smooth stone chip and then painted in the final body colour British Racing Green Metallic. The inside of the car recieved the same meticulous treatment. The roof and mirror backs were painted in White Diamond as per the factory specs. The painted shell was collected on a purpose built frame to protect it for the journey home where the rebuild was started.
New front and rear subframes were fitted with all new suspension, brakes, ball joints, steering rack etc.
A new wiring loom was fitted due to a number of repairs on the original after an alarm had been fitted badly.
New switches, light lenses, headlights, chrome work. The wheels were refurbished and fitted with Yokohama A 539 tyres. The engine was repainted, new clutch fitted, refurbed carb, and a Maniflow exhaust system, Hilo's were fitted with GAZ adjustable shocks. The interior is original Racing Crayons material, the carpet was replaced along with the headlining. The original steering wheel was replaced with a signed Motolita steering wheel.
The handbook is signed by John Cooper, the car is virtually new and needs to be appreciated. Since owning the car for the last 10 years, I have covered approx 2000 miles.
