I think a Rover Mini of the early 90s. |

Nothing says Cooper. Winged bonnet badge with dense grille probably means Oct 96 Mini Classic (previously Mayfair). |

@dsl, this one has pre-1994 plate (which seems genuine) and in the 1997+ range we didn't get Classic but only British Open, Cooper and Cooper Sport Pack |

OK - happy to revise to 94-ish Mayfair (or a year or 2 earlier if plate suggests). Away from home so can't check my Mini bible for any special editions. |

I cannot in any way read it, maybe @humungus or @AleX_DJ could pull some trick to have at least a partial one, but this one seems very hard  anyway, if it is a Roma plate with a letter in the second digit would be 1991-94. Since 1994 plates have the AA000AA format.@dsl, I'm not 100% sure this list is complete (I'd have to double check in my magazines, sometimes I noticed misses in older years and pre-80s things are almost absent, but an OK source since the 90s - pics are often unrelated though), but here there are Mini versions sold in Italy, if you may find it useful .gif ":)") https://www.automoto.it/catalogo/austin-rover/mini/m-497#app-vehicles https://www.automoto.it/catalogo/rover/mini/m-1489#app-vehicles https://www.automoto.it/catalogo/mini/mini/m-1220#app-vehicles Link to "www.automoto.it" https://www.automoto.it/catalogo/rover/mini-cabrio/m-1490#app-vehicles Also, according to price lists and as indicated here, since October 1996 Mini is used as a brand instead of Rover, but probably this has already been discussed before? |

Mayfair looks right to me. The only other obvious 94-ish thing on those lists (which are useful and do look convincing for content) was one I didn't expect to see for I because the name would be odd there - the Italian Job edition, in white. Haven't seen the idea that after October 1996 Mini was used as a brand instead of Rover - if true, it was a quirk for Italy only as far as I can tell. |

Impressive  at least I was right being a Roma plate of those years Anyway, @dsl, I really didn't know 1997+ Mini branding applied only to Italy, but I'm not an expert I can confirm that all my magazines' price list have Mini as a separate brand since October 1996 (like also that online archive I linked), and I see cars had only Mini winged logo (but I believe googling a bit this was everywhere?). Not sure if changing our listings accordingly would be an improvement or would do more harm than good?7 October 1996 price list, the first with Mini as a brand, taken from a February 1997 magazine: ![[Image: img_0209.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/29161/24/img_0209.jpg) |
