POINT

Final-Model Injection × 1970s “MK-3” Style

Based on a final-model injection Mini, this car has been finished in the style of a 1970s Classic Mini “MK-3.”

The Old English White body is paired with a black roof, while the fenderless look and bumpers with overrider bars give it the timeless presence of a classic Mini from years gone by.

It combines the easy drivability of a late-model Mini with classic design, making it a car you can enjoy every day.

MK-3 Two-Color Tail Lamps

At the rear, it features two-color tail lamps in amber (orange) and red. The result is the clean, classic rear styling of a 1970s Classic Mini “MK-3.”

Gray × Red Interior in Mini Heritage Colors

The interior features a two-tone gray × red color scheme, one of the Classic Mini’s heritage combinations. Together with the center speedometer, it lets you enjoy the unmistakable atmosphere of a Classic Mini.

Factory Air Conditioning Relocated to an Under-Dash Type for the Center Speedometer

The factory air conditioning on a 1997 model is originally an in-dash type built into the dashboard.

On this Mini, the factory air conditioner has been relocated to an under-dash unit to suit the center speedometer layout.
It retains the cooling performance of the factory air conditioning while creating a classic center speedometer style.

Pre-Delivery Maintenance

After arrival, we carry out a test drive and lift inspection, checking approximately 150 items. Based on the results, we perform maintenance according to the selected menu.

For maintenance, we carefully select high-quality parts made in Japan as well as newly developed components, updating the Mini with Japanese-standard quality.

For vehicles sold overseas, the vehicle price includes not only Basic Maintenance but also the contents of the Upgrade Pack.

Basic Included in the vehicle price

Basic Maintenance

The cooling system, a known weak point of the Rover Mini, is upgraded with high-quality Japanese-made and newly developed parts to improve durability and reliability. In addition, any areas requiring repair or maintenance are serviced based on the inspection results.

Upgrade Included in the vehicle price

Upgrade Pack

In addition to Basic Maintenance, this menu includes preventive maintenance and upgrades using performance-enhancing parts developed in Japan. It is designed to prepare the car for safer, longer-lasting enjoyment.

Cooling System

Common to all vehicles

Updated to a reinforced cooling system 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 water temperatures, and overheating. By replacing and adjusting each component, 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 overheating more likely. For this reason, Classca improves performance using carefully selected Japanese-made parts. We replace consumable parts with countermeasure and newly developed components, including a 3-core radiator and hoses.

In addition, the factory thermo switch for the electric fan can vary in operation, so we replace it with a Japanese-made sensor. This enables stable control, operating at approximately 92 to 95 degrees and stopping at around 87 degrees. By keeping coolant temperature consistent, it helps maintain stable driving conditions even in summer.

Furthermore, the original cooling fan blade is thin and prone to deformation from heat, so it is replaced with a reinforced thicker type to improve cooling efficiency and stability.

Suspension

When suspension components deteriorate, they can lead to reduced driving stability, abnormal noises, and increased vibration. We inspect joints, bearings, and suspension components, replacing worn parts to restore proper suspension movement.

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

Parts scheduled for replacement Parts carefully selected by Classca
  • Lower arm bush
  • Tension rod bush

Drivetrain and Undercarriage

Deterioration of drivetrain components, mounts, and seals can cause vibration, abnormal noises, and oil leaks. This maintenance restores proper power transmission and undercarriage movement by replacing worn parts.

Parts scheduled for replacement
  • Engine mount MT

Clutch

This maintenance replaces worn clutch hydraulic components and consumables, restoring clutch operation to a proper condition.

Parts scheduled for replacement
  • Clutch fluid

Brakes

Wear and age-related deterioration of brake components can reduce braking performance and cause abnormal noises. We replace worn parts and restore proper brake operation.

For the rear wheel cylinders, Japanese-made rubber cups are used as a countermeasure to help reduce brake fluid leakage compared with standard parts.

On this vehicle, the brake master cylinder will be replaced. Because insufficient hydraulic pressure generation affects braking performance, replacement restores braking power.

Parts scheduled for replacement
  • Wheel cylinder
  • Brake master cylinder
  • Brake fluid
  • Brake cleaner

Fluids and Other Consumables

Scheduled for replacement or replenishment
  • Engine oil
  • Drain gasket
  • Oil element
  • Battery
