MINI MK7 1,3 MPI for sale

Few automotive silhouettes are as timeless as the Classic Mini, an iconic design that redefined compact motoring worldwide. As production neared its final chapter in the late 1990s, the model received its most refined iteration: the Classic Mini 1.3 MPi (Multi-Point Injection), offering modern turn-key reliability while retaining every bit of its legendary go-kart character. To celebrate four decades of production before the era closed, Rover released the highly collectible 1999 Mini 40th Anniversary Edition – a rare, limited-production model representing the absolute pinnacle of classic Mini evolution.

Exterior: The exterior of this 1999 Classic Mini 40th Anniversary Edition is finished in the most sought-after and iconic color available: metallic British Racing Green. Built in the absolute final model generation of the classic body shell, this rare vehicle is one of approximately 800 Mini 40th Anniversary examples ever produced. Exterior highlights include special factory Mini 40th Anniversary badging and decals, along with the desirable Sports Pack configuration featuring wider wheel arches and wider alloy wheels. This Classic Mini also features the sought-after British Open factory electric retractable sunroof, giving you the open-air experience of a convertible with the rigidity of a hardtop hatchback. Classic Minis are notoriously prone to rust, but this example underwent an extensive, well-documented body restoration in 2018 to ensure it remains completely rust-free. The process was thoroughly documented with photos, making it clear that no corners were cut.

Interior: Inside, the Classic Mini 1.3 MPi 40th Anniversary Edition offers a surprisingly spacious cabin with distinctive luxury options unique to this special edition. Notable features include full leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped dashboard, a turned-aluminum dash panel in place of traditional wood trim, and a bespoke Mini 40th Anniversary instrument gauge cluster. The interior is in fantastic condition, and with the broad sunroof open, the cabin feels airy and large. The sunroof fabric was recently replaced with a high-quality cloth material for improved durability and finish compared to the original canvas style. This 1999 Mini provides practical rear seating and a surprisingly functional trunk containing the original spare wheel and jack assembly.

Engine & Mechanics: Behind the wheel, this Classic Mini 1.3 MPi delivers the pure driving joy the model is famous for. Powered by the late-generation 1.3-liter Multi-Point Injection (MPi) engine, this 1999 Mini has classic mini performance with reliable, modern fuel injection. Taller final-drive gearing makes highway cruising comfortable, while tight handling and an upgraded exhaust bring an effortless smile to your face. It is an ideal enthusiast car – compact to store, easy to maintain, and a proven investment as a final-year limited edition Classic Mini.

Mechanically, this car has received thorough recent maintenance. The engine was removed for a full reseal and new clutch installation. The suspension has been upgraded with new components including front Hi-Lo adjustable cones, brand-new brakes at all four corners, and a stainless steel sports exhaust system that provides a refined, sporty tone.

History & Documentation: This 1999 Classic Mini 1.3 MPi 40th Anniversary Edition boasts a clear and well-documented history. Delivered new to Hamburg, Germany, it remained there its entire life under the care of just three dedicated owners before our acquisition. The vehicle comes with a comprehensive history file, including invoices documenting its cosmetic and mechanical restoration, historical TÜV/MOT inspection reports, and original registration documents. The sale also includes the original handbooks and factory service book.
