But she needs you to buy her a mini friend, pronto!

Then the minis can get married too

Fantastic and Tahiti Blue is probably my favourite colour.

Is it a Cooper Sport 500? (i.e. one of the last 500 made). I seem to remember someone saying that the high level stop lamp is a give-away if it's original/factory fitted?

Nope, not a 500, they go for rather a lot more that I had!!
(least, it doesn't say so on the docs)

I don't think it does say '500' on the docs, although Rover did issue a special document I believe (many probably got lost/mislaid though?)

I think it's all down to VIN numbers and the later VIN number decides on whether it is or not.

That website link I provided should give you a clue, or contact the webmaster as he'll be able to tell you.

Roof and stripes should be silver if it was one.

So it looks like the VIN number should run from 188310 if it is a 500?
