Collectible Motor Car of Atlanta is pleased to offer this hard-to-find 1977 Mini Cooper British Open Classic Edition. The British Mini Open Classic was a limited run of 1000 cars for the UK market. And two limited runs for the German market. This British Open was actually built in 1995, imported from Germany in 2007 as a 1977 Leyland Mini, due to the U.S. limitations. Many of you know the Classic Cars from Germany have a requirement of being at least 25 years old to pass through. So, no worries, this is a clear-titled LHD (left hand drive) 1977 Mini Cooper! This Mini Cooper is very well-known in the Mini community throughout the state of Georgia and beyond- attended the Minis United meet in Wytheville, VA multiple times, Autumn in the Appalachians, The Tail of The Dragon Mini meets, and many others.

The Mini British Open looks appropriate finished in classic British Racing Green with Gold pinstriping over Stone Beige Countryman tweed and leather. A very unique feature is the Webasto power-operated fabric top finished in Black. The woodgrain in the interior ads a touch of sophistication along with the leather-wrapped steering wheel. Under the hood lies a very potent 1275cc backed by a smooth 4-speed manual transmission. The rack and pinion steering gives a complete feel of the road and handles sticky situations with ease. The 12” Minilite-style alloy wheels with recent tires keeps this little street bruiser right where you steer it. This is the first time this Mini has been offered for sale in the States as it has been lovingly owned by a private collector for the past 14 years and meticulously maintained. Mini lovers, this is a rare opportunity to obtain a low-mileage, well-documented, unique gem. Inquire today.
