1997 Rover Mini MPi Balmoral Edition Make: RoverModel: Mini Year: 1997Mileage: 28095VIN: SAXXNWAZEBD137807Configuration: Right Hand DriveRegistration: P617GANTransmission: manualRover's Mini Balmoral came with 12in 'Premium' 'Pepperpot' alloy wheels although there was also the option of the Sport Pack kit, which upgraded the wheels to 13in alloys with wide wheelarches - as on this car. Inside, the seats were Balmoral stone beige (optional full leather available) with 'Balmoral' tartan cloth inserts. This example is finished in Tahiti Blue body colour. The vendor bought this 1997 model because he loved Minis, but as it didn't receive that much use, he sold it to his gardener. However, when he moved away, the vendor bought it back again. In recent times, it has been mainly used for club nights and car events, and dry-stored when not being used. The current mileage shown on the odometer is 28,095 miles and although this can't be totally warranted, the very good overall condition of the car and lack of wear inside the cabin suggests it's the true figure. In addition, a print-out of the online MoT history shows that, in 2005, its mileage was just 23,008 miles. The history file includes the V5C, showing the car was registered in March 1997 and has four former registered keepers since then. Its MoT is valid until March 2023 and the certificate is present, as is the previous certificate from 2021. In December 2003, the Mini was the subject of a Category D insurance loss; vehicle damaged but repairable - insurer decided not to repair.
