1990 Mini Cooper RSP S Pack On 11200 Miles. Last Owner 34 Years!

1990 Rover Mini Cooper RSP S Pack in British Racing Green with a white roof, bonnet stripes and mirrors. The RSP (Rover Special Product) was made by John Cooper to reintroduce the mini Cooper back into production. From 1971 – 1990 the mini Cooper was not made and the only available cars were 998cc minis. John Cooper fitted a Metro 1275cc engine to a Mini 30 plus added some Cooper touches like bonnet stripes, white roof, and Minilite alloy wheels and 1050 were produced for the UK market. Due to the success of this car the mini Cooper then sold for an additional 10 years until the new BMW mini was made. John Cooper also gave the option of the S Pack which made the RSP into a Cooper S with an improved Cooper cylinder head (blue), exhaust manifold / exhaust, twin 1.25 SU carburettors and an oil cooler. This conversion made the RSP very exciting but was an expensive option, so only a few where ever made. This example has been owned by the same lady since 1991 and she has enjoyed it for the last 34 years. John Coopers chief technician was Tony Franks who converted the Mini Coopers to S specification. When John Cooper Garages closed Tony set up his own garage and continued his Mini passion. This was converted by Tony and has been maintained by him throughout its life due to the lady living near to his garage. Over this time it has always been garaged and has covered just 11200 miles from new. The condition is remarkable and I have taken pictures underneath to show the factory yellow wax which they applied to protect the floor pans which is this there after all these years! The whole car is in ‘time warp’ condition and very special. To my knowledge this is the only RSP S Pack for sale today and the first for sale this year.

It has recently had 4 new Yokohama A539 tyres which have been fitted with 5 mm spacers to improve the cornering ability even more. It also has its original S Pack Janspeed exhaust which is now very rare.

This really is a very rare and special opportunity to own a piece of mini Cooper history and should give its new owner an exciting and very enjoyable driving experience and long term investment. Free delivery to your door in my curtain sided van with in 200 miles of Tiverton.
