1991 ROVER MINI COOPER

VIN: SAXXNNAMMBD020701

This adorable, tiny classic collector 1991 Rover Mini Cooper is an absolute hoot. Designed by Alex Issigonis and first built by the British Leyland Motor Car Company in the 1950’s, the front wheel drive Mini was way ahead of its time. The objective when designed shortly after WW II was to build a highly fuel efficient vehicle that would fit on England’s narrow roads, yet be roomy on the inside and seat up to four people. The Mini was an instant hit and in Cooper guise, became a very popular and successful race car, both in the US and Europe.

The vehicle offered here was imported from Italy where it was completely restored. The car was imported into the United States by Flemings Ultimate Garage in Rockville, MD and sold to its current owner in 2021. The exterior is silver with dual racing stripes and a Union Jack flag painted on the roof. Wheel flairs, a popular customizing option in Europe, and extra wide Minilite style wheels enhance the vehicle’s appearance and add to its outstanding cornering abilities. Four rally lights mounted on the front bumper add to the car’s character.

The interior was completely redone with numerous custom touches. Seats are a combination of silver gray leather and two tone patterned gray cloth offset with red piping. Door panels match the seats. The instrument panel also has custom touches, but retains the factory gages. The rear hatch area is protected with red carpeting.

This little dynamo is powered by a 1.3 liter inline 4 cylinder engine connected to a close ratio 4 speed manual transmission that drives the front wheels. The engine produces 62 horsepower and the vehicle weighs only 1532 lbs. The little box will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 11.5 seconds and has a top speed 92 mph. Fuel consumption is 37 mpg. The auto has a fully independent suspension including a heavy duty front wheel drive differential and disc brakes.

The car is fun to drive. It feels peppy and shifting and clutch action are excellent. Abrupt steering input creates an immediate reaction. Plus it sounds good with its sporty exhaust. Best of all, this Rover Mini Cooper is collector quality, investment grade.
