What makes this Mini special
 
The teal body is rich and well maintained, paired up with the white top and roof rack, chrome side mirror caps, and double side pinstripes, not only offers a clean sense of style, but also leaves you in front of a blank canvas.
 
All chrome elements are original, so are the two tone wheels. Paint is shiny and rich, coming back from a very well deserved spa day that consisted in a deep polish, and hot wax treatment. The walnut dash is in impeccable condition, with the upholstery showing minimal signs of wear. The steering wheel represents a piece of art on its own, massive wood paired with a running metal center piece.
 
The leather presents embossed Mini elements in the headrests, and the carpets, shampooed and steamed, are  styled in a black and white checkered scheme that completes the stunning and unique look of the interior. 
 
A car any collection should include, this MINI is not only a beautiful piece to look at, but also a fully functional element, serviced and ready to go on the first key.
 
Condition and Presentation
 
This Mini is in excellent condition throughout. The teal green paintwork is deep and glossy, paired with a well-kept interior featuring wood trim, updated audio system, and distinctive checkered mats. The car runs beautifully, and the automatic gearbox makes it especially accessible for drivers who want classic character with modern ease.
 
Its air conditioning works perfectly, providing comfort without compromising the iconic Mini experience. All original trim, badging, and finishes have been preserved or restored with care.
 
Free from major rust and meticulously maintained, this is a Mini that has benefited from Japan’s high standards and a history of responsible ownership.
 
A Rare Opportunity
 
Late-model Rover Minis, especially those with automatic transmissions and working A/C, are extremely hard to find—especially when legally imported, titled, and road-ready in the U.S.
 
Whether you’re looking for a unique city car, a head-turning weekend cruiser, or a piece of automotive history, this Mini offers it all—painted in a rare teal green finish and presented with understated elegance.
