2000 Mini Cooper 1.3i MPI

Introducing the exceptional Mini 40 Anniversary Edition — a rare and highly collectible celebration of one of Britain’s most iconic automotive legends.

First registered in Germany in March 2000, this Limited-Edition Mini was created to commemorate 40 years of Mini heritage. It features a unique combination of anniversary trim, exclusive badging, and mechanical enhancements that make it a particularly desirable example of the final generation of classic Minis. A recent roadworthiness TÜV, valid through June 2028, together with a comprehensive inspection by a marque specialist, ensures this exceptional example is fully prepared for its next Mini enthusiast owner. Supplied with a fully stamped service history and showing just 39,500 kilometres from new. It has had only four previous owners and has recently undergone a comprehensive marque-specialist restoration to an exceptionally high standard.

Powered by the sought-after Rover 1.3i (1275 cc) A-Series engine, this example benefits from the later multi-point fuel injection system — the final evolution of the legendary A-Series power unit, produced between 1997 and 2000. Developing 47 kW / 64 PS, it delivers the unmistakable Mini driving experience: agile, responsive, and full of character.

Finished in Black (colour code PMF), the exterior perfectly complements the Mini 40’s distinctive styling. Chrome bumpers, grille, and door handles provide the classic contrast, while unique Mini 40 bonnet badging and gold anniversary side decals highlight its limited-edition status. The car is further enhanced with the desirable 13-inch Sportspack alloy wheels, Sportspack wheel arches, twin spotlamps, and adjustable headlights, giving it both an unmistakable appearance and an engaging road presence.

With only 800 examples produced worldwide - 400 allocated to the UK and Japan, with the remaining cars supplied to European markets - the Mini 40 Anniversary Edition is a genuinely rare collector’s model.

Due to the increasing difficulty of sourcing quality original and replacement components for these cars, this Mini has benefited from a complete nut-and-bolt restoration, with extensive attention paid to both mechanical integrity and cosmetic authenticity.
