This 1993 Rover Mini is a left-hand-drive example that was reportedly imported to the US from Italy in 2020 and was acquired by the current owner in July 2020. The car is finished in black over white upholstery and is powered by a 1,275cc inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a power-operated sunroof, quad driving lights, white hood stripes, and a cabin heater. Service since August 2020 included resealing the engine, installing an adjustable suspension, and replacing cooling and ignition system components. This Mark VI Mini is now offered on dealer consignment in Pennsylvania with service records and a clean Pennsylvania title.
