Mini Cooper 1.3i MPI 1999

Introducing the exquisite Mini 40 Anniversary Edition, a remarkable limited edition that celebrates the iconic Mini brand's legacy. Launched in April 1999, this special model is distinguished by its unique combination of trim and badges, alongside notable mechanical upgrades. Under the hood, it boasts the flexible multi-point injection version of the 1.3i (1275 cc) engine which was developed by Rover and was the last A-Series variant, produced from 1997-2000. It delivers an exhilarating driving experience with 47 kW / 64 ps. The exterior showcases a striking black (colour code PMF) finish complemented by chrome bumpers, grille, and door handles. A distinctive Mini 40 bonnet badge and anniversary decals grace the body sides, while a classic chrome GB badge adorns the boot, paying homage to its heritage. Inside, the Mini offers a beautifully crafted interior featuring color-matched leather seats with contrasting piping and a stylish alloy dashboard. The dashboard is enhanced by chrome-detailed instruments, prominently displaying the Mini 40 emblem between the water temperature and fuel gauge. Further highlighting its special status, the car includes a leather facia top, handbrake, and gear knob. This limited edition is equipped with a CD player, 13-inch Sportspack wheels, Sportspack arches, and twin spotlamps with adjustable headlights, making it both a visual appeal and a thrilling driving machine. With only 800 units produced—400 destined for the UK and Japan and the remainder for Europe—this model is a rare gem. This particular example, a German specification, has only covered 34,000 kilometers with one owner. With a recent marques specialist overhaul, including all fluids changed and detailed engine and underside preparation, it is once again ready to be enjoyed by collectors and Mini enthusiast alike.
