This is a beautiful example of the highly sought-after R53 Mini Cooper S. Finished in 'Dark Silver', the bodywork is in exceptional condition for its age. There is very minimal damage, with minor, superficial, scratches that could be polished out as they don't even appear to be through the clear coat, and a minor dent just slightly behind the bonnet. This car is fitted with highly sought-after R98 Style 'Split-Rims' finished in silver. These are in fair condition. They have minimal curb damage, but they do have some corrosion. Photos show the condition accurately. All four tyres are road legal and of decent quality. The interior of the R53 is in very good condition. The seats show no tears, cuts or holes. The driver's seat has very minor cracking on the offside bolster. The headlining is not sagging at all, which is incredibly common on R53s. This is the best headlining on an R53 that I've seen. The rest of the interior shows no notable damage. This car has a plethora of highly desired optional extras - including but not limited to: -Differential Lock 25% (S2TA) -Sports Suspension Settings Plus (S228) -Chilli (S872) -Xenon Headlights (S522) -Height Adjustment - Passenger Seat (S450) -Alarm System There have been a few tasteful and popular modifications added to this vehicle. Here is a list of the additions: -Stainless steel exhaust (won't rust, unlike the original) -Ram-Air Intake -Reduced Supercharger Pulley (15%) -John Cooper Works front brake callipers + drilled & slotted discs -NGK Iridium Spark Plugs (the same as those found on the JCW) -Strut brace This car does have a couple of issues. As it stands, the radio has quite poor reception, the headlight washers are blocked and the air con needs to be re-gassed. I am currently trying to fix the radio and headlight washers and will remove this part of the description if I am able to do so. Included with this Mini Cooper S is as follows: -Original service booklet with partial service history -Alignment report -One remote key and one cut key with no electronics -Original owners manual -Pioneer radio + adapters 11 months MOT - expires 28/4/2026. The tyre that caused an advisory in the last MOT has since been replaced. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I have and can provide more photographs as per request.
