Plate returns a September 1999 Cooper Sports Pack, and it's still on the road. dsl wrote Slightly uneasy about what it actually is - Sports Pack had big flared wide arches which I'd expect to be visible and Coopers nearly all had white roof; also doesn't look like tints. But it looks LHD so GB letters are a red herring. At the end you could order any Mini with pretty well whatever spec you wanted, including sunroof - which would maybe look odd with contrasting white roof. So 1999 Cooper possible but I don't go for Sports Pack on this view alone; my hunch would be plainer Mini Classic but I don't want to stand in the way of progress. I notice that on apps/sites often Minis are often wrongly or roughly identified. I checked on my magazines and in September 1999 we got British Open, Cooper and Cooper Sports Pack. GB stickers, Union Jacks or similar customizations are common on old Minis here @dsl, I'll let you enter it I don't remember at the moment, probably this was already discussed, but since 1997 Minis were sold under the Mini brand here (but maybe was decided to leave them as Rover?)

Bux_48 ◊ 2025-05-16 23:59	OK yes, we got British Open until the end strangely, no VIN available for this one.
