Hi all,

I've owned my 35 for a while now and have brochures, handbook, service book etc but I just wondered as they are limited editions are they numbered, none of the paperwork shows a number, a lot of limited editions from other manufacturers have a plaque on the dash for example 565 of 1000. Cheers John

The 35 did not come with alloy wheels as standard. Auto gearbox was an option. Sold in France, Italy and Japan, under a different name.

Dont think they came with a build number, but other more knowledgable membersmay know different

Adjustable headlamp aim sounds odd on a 94?

Bought our Mini 35 brand new and to be honest I don't recall it being given a number. Although we have lost all the literature that came with it so could never verify.

I've got a blue 35 but there was no number for them. Just another special edition and 100% not electronic adjustable headlights

with rover it would be more like all the models were intended to have them, but a few slipped through without them (if they were made on a Friday)

I own a Japanese 35. No number supplied but they are really rare, especially in manual rust free guise and are rapidly rising in value. Here's a pristine example at a crazy price. 

 

I was stopped last month by a jogger in Hyde park who offered me 15K cash right then and there. Even offered to drop me home in the car. When I declined, he said he had been looking for one for a year and left his card. I think it's the color combination that makes them desirable.

Didn't all mini's come with..."Electric adjustable headlamp aim"? sounds like the marketing version....the actual being Electric Headlamp aim adjustable......
