    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.

    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!
