Description
Here for sale is my Custom Built MINI Cooper S
The car is a 2008 MINI Cooper S in Chilli Red, due to the normal lacquer issues that red MINI's always suffer from this car has now been professionally resprayed in 2024 in its original colour of Chilli Red. The deep gloss now really makes the car stand out.
This car has also been SideWalked.
This car has had the original SideWalk Malt Brown seats, arm rests, gear knob and steering wheel fitted along with an original rare wood effect dashboard. The wheels are also the correct SideWalk 17" alloy wheels
In the UK the MINI SideWalk was only available in 4 boring colours of silver, black, white and beige silver, but I think you will agree the Malt Brown colour really works with the Chilli Red paintwork.
Since my purchase last year I have fitted 2 brand new Toyo Proxes to the front, and the rears have good treads. I replaced the exhaust with a genuine JCW exhaust that gives the car a lovely muted soundtrack with the top down.
I have also fitted a genuine MINI windbreak which comes with the original MINI case. Genuine SideWalk grey mats fitted.
The Harman Kardon amplifier has also been replaced as these are often troublesome.
And I fitted a NextBase dashcam which will come with the car.
Some nice l MINI options:
Xenon Lights
Heated front seats
HK Radio/CD player - Bluetooth adapter supplied
Multi-function steering wheel giving cruise control and remote radio controls.
Fully working hood in excellent condition
MINI Booklet Pack - Service History Book shows Services in 2009,2011, undated , 2023 and finally in 2024 a full major service by MINI specialist The S Works including the removal of the supercharger for servicing, new cooling fan resistor replacement, oil and filter change, air con regas, pollen filter etc
Full stainless steel bolt kit fitted to engine .
Folder of invoices including Replacement of Clutch and Main Oil Seal in 2021along with front bush replacement and new radiator.
MOT to 30.10.25 - Last MOT had one advisory - Exhaust leak (from the JCW exhaust) which has been fixed by fitting a new bracket.
This is a stunning car that will look great on the drive or at any MINI car show, with a 99% chance of not seeing one that looks the same.
I know that this is a premium price for a 17 year old car, but come and have a look at it if you want a fantastic looking convertible for the summer, in the meantime I will be enjoying open top driving in my 22 year old MX5!
