- A tour around our limited edition Mini Cooper Sport 500.
The Cooper Sport 500 was the final edition of the classic Mini, released in a strictly limited production run of 500 units. They were only available in four exterior colours; British Racing Green, Tahiti Blue, Solar Red and Anthracite, with a contrasting Platinum Silver roof and bonnet stripes. Each car was appropriately built to a high specification, including a bank of four fog and spot lamps, 13” Sportspack alloy wheels and arches, a high-level brake light, leather seats in black and nickel silver, alloy door trim and an engine-turned dash with chrome bezel gauges. Every Mini Cooper Sport 500 rolled off the production line with a 'Last 500' certificate signed by John Cooper, and a unique plaque within the glove box, reading “This Mini is one of the last 500 built to the original Sir Alec Issigonis design”.
This example, number 241, is presented in British Racing Green with wonderful black and grey leather interior. In 2012 the car had an ‘S-Works’ conversion carried out by Mini specialist Palmer Brothers Works, comprising of an engine head upgrade and exhaust and air filter enhancements to push out 25bhp more than standard.
The Mini has covered just 38,000 miles from new - a mere 500 miles in the past 6 years - and is in lovely condition having been carefully maintained. Newly serviced and MOT’d to July 2021 (no advisories). All four wheels have been refurbished and the car has benefitted from a comprehensive valet. Accompanied by two sets of keys, full service history and a file of invoices and sundry literature including the official “Last 500” certificate and Palmer Brothers conversion certificate.

He should of kept it totally original as it left the factory. It is a 2001 because it on a y plate,and a 500 .it took a few for some of them to get registered.
What was the power output after the engine upgrade?
Approximately 85bhp
How can it be from 2001? Last classic mini was released in October 2000.
Date of manufacture and date of registration are two separate things. The classic Mini was manufactured up until October 2000 but many weren't registered until mid-2001.
