1997 Mini Cooper Rover Mini MK7 35th Anniversary
The Rover Mini MK7 marked the final evolution of the iconic Mini before production ceased in 2000, and this 1997 35th Anniversary edition pays homage to one of the most beloved small cars in history. Finished in British Racing Green with a contrasting white roof, this car represents a rare and collectible piece of Mini heritage. With just 35,051 kilometres on the odometer, it remains in mint condition and has avoided the rust that plagued many examples of the era.
Powered by a factory 1,300cc engine paired with a manual gearbox, this Mini retains the nimble handling and playful driving experience that defined the model for decades. Importantly, this Anniversary edition was factory-equipped with air conditioning—a rare and desirable feature that makes it even more usable today. Originally registered in Western Australia before being brought to Melbourne, the car has been carefully preserved and presents as a standout example of Rover’s late-era craftsmanship.
The Mini Cooper holds legendary cultural status, symbolising 1960s style, motorsport success, and clever British design. By the 1990s, special editions such as the 35th Anniversary became instant collector favourites, blending nostalgia with modernised touches. Its enduring popularity was only strengthened by appearances in films, from The Italian Job to Austin Powers, ensuring the Mini’s place as a global motoring icon.
