19. 1995 Mini Sidewalk / Mini Tartan

The Mini Sidewalk came in a choice of Metallic Charcoal, Kingfisher Blue, or Diamond White paintwork with chrome bumpers

and ‘Sidewalk’ decals. The interior was in a red and blue tartan which gave the car its nickname.

The seatbelts were bright red to match the tartan and this was the first special edition with rear inertia reel seatbelts.




20. 1996 Mini Cooper 35

Celebrating thirty-five years since the Austin Mini Cooper and Morris Mini Cooper debuted in 1961, the Mini Cooper 35 came

in the same almond green of the first Coopers although the engine was now 1275cc rather than 987cc.

Decals featured the words “Mini Cooper 1961-1996 Anniversary Edition”, charcoal painted 12inch alloy wheels came as

standard. Only 200 were built for the UK and, of these a handful had the John Cooper S treatment.




21. 1997 Mini Cooper S Sport 5

Based on the Mini Cooper, this John Cooper Garages conversion ramped up the power to 86 bhp and employed a 5-speed Jack

Knight Designs gearbox as standard.

It was available in a full range of classic Mini colours for the exterior and featured a half leather interior with several

full leather options. Cooper badging front and rear with side decals, wide bonnet stripes and twin auxiliary headlamps add

to the sporty feel.
