1998 Rover Mini Paul Smith Edition
VIN: SAXXNWAXKWD161729
The Rover Mini Paul Smith Edition represents one of the most distinctive final chapters of the Classic Mini—where British automotive heritage intersects with late-1990s design culture.
Produced in just 1,800 examples worldwide, with the majority delivered new to Japan, the Paul Smith Edition has become one of the most recognizable and collectible Minis of the final production era.
This example presents in excellent condition and shows just 47,210 miles (76,140 km). It retains the defining design elements that set the model apart, including its signature Paul Smith Blue finish and the contrasting citrus-green accents found throughout the glovebox, engine bay, and luggage compartment—subtle but intentional details that reflect Paul Smith’s design philosophy.
The car is accompanied by its original Rover Mini bound folio, along with the factory jack and tool kit—items often missing from comparable examples.
Exterior
Finished in Paul Smith Blue over anthracite alloy wheels. The paint presents well overall with no visible rust. Noted is a localized area of clear-coat failure on the roof. The gold-filled Paul Smith bonnet badge remains intact—an identifying hallmark of the model.
Interior
The interior is in excellent condition and features the higher-specification Paul Smith trim, including black leather upholstery and the signature green glovebox lining. Cabin presentation is clean and consistent with the car’s mileage and use.
Engine & Drivetrain
Powered by the 1275cc SPi engine paired with an automatic transmission. The car retains the characteristic light, responsive driving feel of the late-production Mini, making it equally suitable for urban use or casual weekend driving.
Collector Notes
– Limited production (1,800 units worldwide)
– Largely Japan-market distribution
– Retains key Paul Smith design elements and accessories
– Increasingly difficult to source in unmodified condition
A highly recognizable and culturally significant Mini—well suited for a design-focused collection or as an accessible entry into the final-era Classic Mini market.
