John Cooper sold his own modified Minis under the 'Mini-Cooper' name from the mid-1980s, before Rover's acquisition of the rights to the name made it possible to officially re-launch the model in September 1990. The new Mini-Cooper was based on the Mini 30, the most luxuriously equipped Limited Edition Mini to date, but fitted with the 1,275cc engine rather than the 30's 998cc unit. Power was not back to the old 1275 'S' level, but at 61bhp the new Cooper's maximum output was the highest since its predecessor's demise back in 1971. The newcomer received a catalytic converter and single-point fuel injection from October 1991, benefiting from increased power and torque and being renamed 'Cooper 1.3i'. Top speed increased to 92mph and the 0-60mph time dropped below 12 seconds. This example has covered just 59,000 miles from new and comes with full Rover service history up to 1998. The car is presented in generally good running condition, but with body/paintwork in need of light restoration. Finished in green/white with red/black cloth interior. It is offered with Swansea V5 registration document.
