They went on sale in 1990 if I remember correctly and would guess that maybe 10 or 15 came in here. Rover were only selling about 80 Minis here a year back then.

You could try the RSP register for more info:

My brother had one years ago. It was black with white roof and a 91C reg. It belonged to Kevin Ring before that. Don't know where it is now.

RSP,s had a HIF44 carb and not a sign of an ECU to be seen anywhere as opposed to the SPI which had a magic box of fairies to make it go.So no stopping for me when I hit a pot hole and resetting the ECU.Modern technology bah humbug. :lol:

I havent examined them closely but i believe them to be in good nick.
