Mini Italian Job

History

 The Rover Mini Italian Job Special Edition was released in January 1993 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the famous film of the same name. Available in red, white, blue and British Racing Green, all models had white Minilite-style wheels, tinted windows, bonnet stripes to represent the leather bonnet straps on the film cars and special decals and bonnet badges.

Interior upholstery and equipment was based on the Cooper, but with small Italian flags on the front seats and steering wheel. Halogen driving lamps were fitted at the front and the rear side windows opened like Cooper/Mayfair models. Just 1,000 right-hand drive models were produced for the UK, whilst 750 left-hand models were sent over to Italy.

This particular car is said to be in good condition throughout and has 79,800 miles on the clock which is believed genuine. With an MOT until September 2008, it is said to drive well.
