Island Blue Mini 40 LE

1999 Mini 40 LE Island Blue

The Mini 40 was built in 1999 to celebrate the 40th anniversary for this little car. Only 250 units were built for the UK market in Island Blue, Mulberry Red, Old English White, and Tahiti Blue Metallic. This is the Island Blue Mini 40 LE which is an extremely rare car to find in the market today. It features Mini 40 decals, chrome “GB” on the boot, four spotlights, body-color matched leather seats, alloy dashboard and a luxury interior. The car is definitely a nice addition to any collections.

Gold color “Mini 40” badge at fitted to the bonnet and both side body at sealed with 40^th Anniversary decals. At the back, there is a huge chrome “GB” fitted on the boot. (Mini 40 in the photo below has lost the chrome “GB” on the boot)

Inside the car, leather seats are body-color matched with contrasting piping, chrome-detailed instruments, and the most sought-after alloy dashboard. Handbrake and gear knob are sealed with leather. Engine wise, it is powered by a 1275 cc MPi (Mult-point injection) engine.

Stunning exterior including a set of 13-inch Sportspack wheels which could be extremely expensive today (Note the Mini 40 showed on top isn’t come with 13-inch Sportspack wheels). Matched with Sportspack arches and twin spotlamps, the Mini 40 is without a doubt one of the coolest limited edition ever. The original price when new was £10,995 and the price is nothing compared to everything available with the car. Bravo!

Morris Mini Cooper S 1275 MKI

This is a Morris Mini Cooper S MKI with 1275s engine from Japan. The photo is shared from ALEC Classic MINI. MKI Morris Mini Cooper S was built from 1964 to 1967. The Original price during that time was £778. Hydrolastic suspension were added to the car from 1964 and the dashboard comes with a 130mph central speedometer as the car is able to go faster. Today, more than half of these cars have been killed and sold as junk. Some of them have been dissected and their parts are sold separately. Therefore, you don’t see a MKI Morris Cooper S on the road that often. They will only appear once awhile during huge Mini event or gathering. This is one of the reason why so many Mini enthusiasts sought-after the Cooper S so badly and sometimes the price of the car could fetch up to an unbelievable amount. If you don’t own one, it’s ok, there will be a chance. Otherwise just stay here and enjoy these pictures.
