Vehicle Description
A lot of us would love to have an original Mini, especially in
right-hand drive. But often we're not willing to give up creature
comforts. That's what makes this 1990 Rover Mini Checkers so
appealing. It has the cool classic looks, but with nice
conveniences like an automatic transmission and air
conditioning.
We know you love the look of these original Minis. The shape is
unmistakable, and you can't help but smile at this icon. And this
one was built to really maximize its status. The Checkers edition
has the look of the Mini Coopers with the Hella lights up front and
Minilite wheels. Plus, the white hood (bonnet) stripes and white
roof look cool against the black paint. The same attractiveness
goes for the full-length red and white pinstripe that ends in the
special Checkers graphic. So the total look really pays a nice
tribute to the rugged little Rally machines that were giant killers
on the circuit.
Part of what made the Mini so revolutionary was that despite its
diminutive size, pushing the wheels to corners meant four people
could genuinely fit inside. But while those roots are utilitarian,
this later one received all the best factory upgrades to give it a
level of comfort that the early ones could only dream about. The
stylish high-back bucket seats up front are finished in a cool and
colorful cloth pattern. It's a true British icon, so even though
this is a Japanese-spec model, people will be happy to see you
arrive with the driver on the right. But will really make you fall
in love are the modern features. This includes the full gauge
package w/tach, AM/FM/CD stereo w/Bluetooth, and A/C. Yes, you
really can have cold air conditioning in an original Mini!
Under the hood is the correct 998cc four-cylinder engine. This
A-Series motor is a well-known and widely used powerplant that
found a home in plenty of British vehicles, which makes parts
availability quite easy. In fact, ease is a central theme to this
Mini. It has nice driving features like the rarely-seen four-speed
automatic transmission. Plus, you have power brakes w/discs up
front and steering that is so exact it feels telepathic. So it's
one of the nimblest classics you'll ever find.
We already seldom see original Minis, so an exceptional one like
this may never be available again. Call today!!!
