Rover Mini Cooper Sport 500

The Cooper Sport 500 was Rover's send-off for the classic Mini, launched in late 2000 as production neared its end. Only 500 were built, and this is number 322. It uses the 1275cc multi-point fuel-injected engine, with the full Cooper Sport specification of Platinum Silver roof, bonnet stripes, four spot lamps and a glovebox plaque.

This one is finished in metallic Anthracite, the rarest of the four colours, of which the page says only 108 were made. Inside are black leather seats with Platinum Silver inserts, an aluminium six-dial dash with magnolia dials and a colour-coded centre console. The car carries the private plate M500SPO, which stays with it.

It is quoted at around 50,000 miles from new, with four previous owners, the last of whom kept it for 17 years. A service history folder, the original keys and fobs are included. The dealer describes the shell as unrestored and well preserved, with correct vented sills and solid subframes, and says it will be supplied with a full MOT.
