1993 Rover Mini Convertible-Now Sold-similar standard required.

NOW SOLD SIMILAR STANDARD CLASSICS REQUIRED. Rover Mini Convertible -1993. Said to be one of rarest Minis’ ever built. German company Lamm Autohaus were commissioned to build 75 convertibles for the Rover group to test the market . Though set at a very high price they sold in a month. Rover Mini then produced upon these results approx 300. This didn’t even cover 50 percent of the dealerships being approx 700. Hence most dealers didn’t even get to see one never mind sell one. Rover used some specialist manufacturers for some items to save setting up all the tooling. They used Cobra who were known for racing car seats to manufacture the high back Recaro style seats. The all important convertible hood was built by Tickford and each frame is individually numbered. This hood comes with a tailored tonneau. All of the early production was painted in Nightfire Red and this supports a colour matched roof and tonneau. Two more colours Green and Blue were introduced in 1994 the roofs on these cars are not colour matched. Rover turned to Revolution for the 12 inch alloys.
The engine was a standard 1275 Cooper engine. These convertibles don’t often come to market as most collectors and classic car people realise as a super rare Mini they are loved and often kept in collections. Low mileage examples like mine are even more desireable.
This convertible Mini was registered Feb 1993 and saw very very little use. The reason for this is that it was owned by the beautiful 5 star Rosewood Hotel in London and used for One day at Christmas time to transport Father Christmas around Westminster collecting money etc for Children’s charities.
The paintwork and bodywork are both excellent with no issues at all. The original Nightfire Red retains a deep shine. The original 12 inch alloys are very good and are shod with quality radials including a matching spare. The original hood and tonneau are again excellent and the frame folds on and off with ease. The interior is all perfect with very little wear and use. The only deviation from original is the addition of a quality JVC stereo. Mechanically this Mini with the great little 1275cc Cooper engine is just fantastic. I have just put on a fresh MOT where it passed with no advisories. The only previous years advisory was exhaust so a new stainless system has just been fitted. Also a new battery has been fitted.
A lot of these Minis when the come up for sale are snapped up very quickly by customers abroad I am sure this One would suit any Classic car enthusiast here in the U. K..
