1996 Rover Mini Cooper | Lincoln, Lincolnshire

A 1996 Rover Mini Cooper, the sporting small car whose name Rover revived in 1990 after more than twenty years away. The Cooper is known for its compact shape, front-wheel-drive grip and keen handling, and the small cabin keeps everyone close to the driving. This car is green outside and green inside, a matched scheme that looks calm and coordinated on camera. The 1275cc engine gives it a lively, willing character, and its condition is excellent. It seats four, with a look that sits squarely in the Britpop-era nineties. Film and TV productions set in the 1990s get a period British small car, and photographers can use its neat proportions and single-colour scheme to anchor a frame. Fashion, editorial and event work benefit from the same colour-matched interior and compact shape. For weddings and personal hires it makes a characterful alternative to a larger car. It is based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
