1990 Rover Mini 30th Anniversary Limited Edition For Sale

Mini 30th Anniversary Limited Edition in Cherry Red.

1 of 3000 ever produced

Original plan since purchasing this car in April was to tidy it up and bring it back to "how it should be'

Unfortunately I've now got another project I need to start on. We have a 1987 Peugeot 205 in the family with sentimental value and unfortunately the headgasket has failed. So I'm hoping to start stripping that down this weekend.

I rent a garage unit to store this Mini but I could do with the space to store and work on the Peugeot engine.

This Mini since April has had over £750 of parts fitted as well as over £980 labour costs to have the loom repaired (new reverse light wire, and all new connectors throughout the engine bay)

Other items include:

- Replacement 12" Minilites with pretty fresh powder coating and 4x Yokohama tyres.

- New accelerator cable

- New Speedo cable

- New Distributor mounting arm bracket

- New Distributor Cap, Rotor Arm & Condenser

- New Ignition leads and spark plugs

- top engine mount bushes replaced

- genuine engine mounts replaced / fitted

- New Inlet Manifold

- New fuel pipe hose connectors (from the pump and to the carb)

- New Fuel Tank Overflow Pipe

- New Driveshaft Side Plate and seal

- New Windscreen and new Chrome trim

- rear quarter window seals replaced

.... Basically quite a lot. I have a full spreadsheet including costs, part numbers etc

Bits it could still do with:

- Mini 30 Decals

- Headlight mounting bowls (still secure but the mounting screws for the headlights are quite rusty)

- Drivers side base fabric repair (stitching has come away at the back - general age/ use issue)

- Steering wheel needs retrimming

- Badges / Stickers for wheel caps and one for the gearstick

Id be looking for around £6500-7000

** Edit** Due to people already asking - Final offer is £6250. This is to get back what I bought the car for and for the works and parts that has been put into this car.**

Good investment

Just finished servicing the carburettor as it was running too rich. I have now replaced the carb needle with the correct one for the carb/ engine along with a new throttle body and all new gaskets etc.

I have been considering changing the carburettor as currently it has a HIF38 but these mini 30s came off the production line with HS4's I believe. These can be found relatively cheap if you bought the car and wanted to put the original (correct) carb back in as was when produced.

Anyway, just thought I'd see if anybody would be interested to keep bringing this little one back up to standard and keeping the 30s going. My focus will now be on our family kept Peugeot 205.

Also - I have a Valuation Certificate (carried out this month - July 2021) by the British Mini Owner's Club. Useful for verifying it's value with insurance companies etc

MOT Valid until Jan 2022 BUT for piece of mind I can get a fresh MOT carried out before sale. It's MOT was originally June/ July but I believe the last owner use the MOT extension during the Covid lockdowns.

95, 000 Miles, no welding required. Few bubbles of rust, one on the metal lip behind the rear bumper chrome bumper which I have currently treated with rust treatment and one small bubble below the rear window rubber. Also been treated. Was on the "to do list" to sand down, treat and spray the small areas.

Overall in excellent condition for its age.
