Description
The car was delivered to its first Swedish owner in July 1998. An owner in northern Småland who used the car regularly likely accounted for the majority of the mileage before the previous owner bought it in 2018 with a project build in mind. Instead, however, the car ended up sitting for several years. The current owner has known the previous one for a long time and eventually took over the car and put it back on the road. According to the current owner – who has worked extensively with this model over the years – the many failed inspections in the registry are most likely due to sticking rear brakes. "They're always a problem, it doesn't matter if it's an early sixties car or one from 1998," he says. He serviced the car in 2025, which also passed its most recent inspection on 2025-09-10.

Facts about the model
In 1998, the classic Mini was in the final stages of its legendary production run, but it was far from forgotten. Under the ownership of the Rover Group (then controlled by BMW), the original 1959 Mini design had been refined into what was internally known as the Mark VII generation, introduced in late 1996. This late version of the Mini Cooper combined the car's compact design with modern updates to meet the stricter demands of the era. Under the hood sat the classic 1.3-liter A-series engine, now equipped with Twin Point Injection and a front-mounted radiator, producing 63 hp. Safety had also received a significant boost with the introduction of a driver's airbag and side-impact protection in the doors. Comfort and style were elevated through more luxurious details such as leather seats, a genuine walnut dashboard, and the characteristic white racing stripes on the hood, a nod to the car's proud 1960s rally heritage. The 1998 model was also offered in the popular "Sports Pack" trim, which gave the car extra-wide fenders, 13-inch Minilite wheels, and auxiliary driving lights up front. Despite the design being nearly 40 years old, Rover managed in 1998 to keep the raw, kart-like driving pleasure alive and transform the British people's car into a modern and exclusive lifestyle statement, just before the Longbridge factory finally ended production of the original Mini in 2000.
