POINT

Original Rover Mini Sprite

The “Sprite” is a model created for the Japanese market with a simple interior, offering the charming, unpretentious character that makes a Mini so appealing.
Its simple interior brings out the best of its neo-classic appeal.
The factory black body color is also rare, giving it a timeless style you can enjoy for years to come.

One owner × 40,000 km range

The mileage is in the 40,000 km range and is believed to be genuine.
This is a one-owner car that has been carefully looked after.

Fully original interior

The Rover Mini Sprite was often used as a base for customization from new.
As a result, very few examples remain in their original condition today.
The door trims and the firmness of the seats are both in good condition, preserving the car’s original feel from the period.

Original dashboard area in good condition

The steering wheel and dashboard panel also remain in their original condition.
Simple yet full of the character and appeal unique to cars of the 1990s, the dashboard area has a distinctive charm.

Pre-delivery maintenance

After arrival, each vehicle is test-driven and inspected on a lift, with checks carried out across approximately 150 items. Based on the results, maintenance is performed according to the selected menu.

For the work, we carefully select high-quality parts made in Japan as well as newly developed components, updating the Mini with a level of quality unique to Japan.

The vehicle price for overseas customers includes not only basic maintenance but also the contents of the Upgrade Pack.

Basic

Basic Maintenance

Included in the vehicle price

Cooling system

Common to all vehicles

Updated to a reinforced cooling-system specification using carefully selected, high-quality parts made in Japan

Cooling system components are easily affected by heat and age-related deterioration. When they deteriorate, they can cause coolant leaks, rising coolant temperatures, and overheating. By replacing and adjusting the relevant parts, we restore proper coolant circulation and temperature control.

The Rover Mini was born in the UK, and in Japan’s hot and humid environment the cooling system is placed under greater strain, making the car more prone to overheating. For this reason, Classca upgrades the system with carefully selected Japanese-made parts. We replace consumable components such as the 3-core radiator and improved or newly developed hoses.

In addition, the factory thermo switch for the electric fan can vary in operation, so it is replaced with a Japanese-made sensor. This enables stable control, operating at approximately 92°C and stopping at 95°C, keeping coolant temperature consistent and maintaining stable driving even in summer.

The cooling fan blade is also replaced with a reinforced, thicker type, as the factory blade is thin and prone to deformation from heat. This helps improve the stability of cooling efficiency.

Upper hose
Lower hose
Conversion hose
Water pump
Fan blade
V-belt AB
Hose band L
Hose band S
Thermostat gasket

Suspension

When suspension components deteriorate, driving stability may decline and noise or vibration may increase. We inspect joints, bearings, and suspension components, and replace worn parts to restore the suspension’s movement to proper condition.

For this vehicle, the lower arm bushes will be replaced. Deteriorated lower arm bushes can cause looseness, noise, and reduced stability while driving. By removing the worn rubber bushes and replacing them with new ones, the suspension movement is stabilized.

Parts scheduled for replacement Parts carefully selected by Classca

Rack boots
Rack bushes
Lower arm bushes
Tension rod bushes
Rebound rubber

Drivetrain and underbody

Deterioration of drivetrain components, mounts, and seals can cause vibration, noise, and oil leaks. This maintenance replaces worn parts to restore drivetrain power transfer and underbody movement.

For this vehicle, the front subframe mounts will be replaced. Deteriorated rubber can cause vibration and looseness. Replacing the mounts restores the proper fixing condition between the body and the frame.

Upgrade

Upgrade Pack

Included in the vehicle price

In addition to basic maintenance, this menu includes preventive repairs and maintenance as well as upgrades using performance-enhancing parts developed in Japan. It is designed to prepare the vehicle for safer, longer-term enjoyment.

Suspension

Front shock absorbers: The front shock absorbers will be replaced. When shocks deteriorate, vibration becomes harder to control, reducing ride comfort and stability. Replacing them with new units restores proper control of the front wheels’ movement.

Rear shock absorbers: The rear shock absorbers will be replaced. Deterioration can increase body movement and instability. Replacement restores rear stability and ride comfort.

Hi-Lo kit for springs: A Hi-Lo kit for springs will be installed or replaced. Introducing a ride-height adjustment mechanism allows the vehicle height to be set properly. It is adjusted together with the springs to achieve the ideal ride height.

Other

Rear greasing with oil seals

Drivetrain and underbody

Inner CV joint boots: The inner CV joint boots will be replaced. Deterioration of the boots that protect the inner joints can lead to grease leakage and wear. New boots are fitted to protect the drivetrain components.

Differential side oil seals: The differential side oil seals will be replaced. Deteriorated seals can allow transmission oil to leak. Replacing the seals restores the sealing condition.

Engine area

Rocker cover gasket & seal set: The rocker cover gasket will be replaced. Deterioration of the gasket causes oil leaks, so replacement restores proper sealing.

Chain case gasket: The chain case gasket and oil seal will be replaced. As deterioration can cause oil leaks, the area is disassembled and the seals are replaced to restore the sealing condition.

High-tension leads ABR MAGNECOR: The high-tension leads (ABR MAGNECOR) will be replaced. Age-related deterioration can reduce ignition energy transfer efficiency, causing misfires or poor engine running. Replacing them with high-quality new ABR MAGNECOR leads improves ignition stability.

Other

Genuine air cleaner
Vacuum joint
Spark plugs
Distributor cap & rotor
Upper steady bushes

Brakes

Brake master cylinder: The brake master cylinder will be replaced. As poor hydraulic pressure generation can affect braking performance, replacement restores braking force.

Brake servo: The brake servo will be replaced. When the assist function declines, pedal effort becomes heavier. Replacement improves operability.

Wheel cylinders: The wheel cylinders will be replaced. Hydraulic issues can reduce braking force, so replacement restores normal brake operation.
