Description:

Built in the penultimate year of classic mini cooper production, this 1999 Mini Cooper is the last of its kind—modern enough to run hard without complaint, but still raw with the charm and grit of the original. Born from Alec Issigonis’ vision in 1959 and refined for forty years, this is the Mini to own: fuel-injected, disc-braked, and honest driving.  This particular car has been lovingly kept and tastefully upgraded to further enhance its driving character and performance.  Not only does it put a smile on your face every time you walk up to it and every time you drive it, but also garners smiles and attention from everyone else too.  Layoff forces sale.
