Description
For sale is my 2009 Mini Cooper S R56 for spares or repairs, a fantastic project car or an excellent source of high-quality spare parts. The car has unfortunately suffered engine damage due to a faulty timing chain and oil starvation. The garage confirmed that the engine's bottom end and other internal components were affected, with metal particles found in the oil indicating wear. While the car will require repairs or potentially an engine replacement to run reliably again, it offers great potential for someone with the right skills to restore it or repurpose its many working parts. The bodywork is in excellent condition with only a couple of tiny, non-noticeable scratches on the paintwork, and the mileage is 87,071. It also benefits from new brake callipers fitted in May, which are nearly pristine, and everything else on the car is in good working order aside from the engine. This is an ideal opportunity for a mechanic or Mini enthusiast looking for a rewarding project or quality spares. Located in Camberwell, London, the car is being sold as-is for spares or repairs and will require transport for pickup. Please feel free to message me with any questions or to arrange viewing. Open to reasonable offers. Next MOT due 09/12/2024, Red, 5+ owners, £1,000
