Few cars embody classic motoring spirit like this 1997 Classic Rover Mini Cooper Convertible. Painstakingly restored with a frame-off build, this JDM-imported Mini was transformed into a faithful MK1-style Cooper — crafted with care, quality, and attention to every detail. The show-quality Honda S2000 Red finish brings a modern twist to the timeless Mini shape, while upgrades like cold A/C and a rebuilt drivetrain make it truly enjoyable to drive.



Power comes from a fully rebuilt 1.3L SPI fuel-injected engine with electronic ignition. It runs cool, holds strong oil pressure, and cruises effortlessly. The handling is tight and lively, thanks to a fully rebuilt suspension and upgraded 7.5″ Cooper S–style front disc brakes. New 10×6 GB wheels wrapped in Yokohama A008 tires complete the performance look and feel.

Visually, this Mini captures the best of the classic era. The MK1 grille and bumpers, LED Lucas P700 headlights, Keith’s Convertible Kit, and chrome accents give it a striking presence. A tinted windshield and fold-down rear plate bracket add to its authentic 1960s vibe.

Inside, the red Audi leather upholstery delivers a rich, refined atmosphere. A Moto-Lita wood steering wheel with an original Cooper horn button, Magnolia-style gauges, classic crank windows, and aluminum Cooper trim all stay true to the vintage aesthetic — with smart modern upgrades sprinkled throughout, down to the Union Jack door pocket detail.

With its head-turning looks, open-air driving experience, and reliable modern touches, this Mini Cooper Convertible offers the best of both worlds — perfect for collectors, weekend drivers, or anyone who loves a fun and stylish classic.
