Mini - Mk VII (1996 to 2001)

The Mini Mk VII was introduced in 1996. The Mk VII was the seventh and final generation of the Classic Mini, and was only offered in the classic saloon body style. The most noticeable change was the full width dashboard which only featured on the Mk VII. Both standard Mini and sporty Cooper S trims were offered, both using the 1.3L inline four engine. Production of the Mini Mk VII, and the Classic Mini in general, ended in 2000, although a few examples built in late 2000 have been registered as 2001 models.
