Description
Lovely Mini Cooper S R53 for sale in very good condition considering its age.
This is the sought-after first BMW edition which features the lovely supercharged engine tied to a manual 6 speed gearbox. It is an 04 so is the more desirable face lifted design, and is much smaller than the cars that followed.
This particular example has been very thoroughly looked after in my ownership, and has had numerous parts replaced and serviced to keep it running well for years to come. The bodywork is very tidy with shiny all original paint. The only thing I can see is a little dent by the fuel cap, and one/two on the rear bumper.
In terms of the driving experience, it is very direct and pulls like a freight train when the supercharger kicks in! These are such fun little motors to drive, and from that aspect I'll be sad to see it go.
The spec of this car is the best of any Cooper S I have stumbled across, it has a multifunction steering wheel, heated front seats, black leather interior, dual glass panoramic roof (all still working!), CD player, xenon lamps, cruise control, and heated front windscreen. Alloys have just been refurbished with new centre caps and the car has just been ceramic coated ready for its new owner.
In the past 18 months it has had:
Alternator & belt replacement
Rocker Cover Gasket replacement
Timing chain tensioner
Wheel bearings X4
Rear pads & Discs
Front pads
New clutch
Headlights refurbished
Stainless exhaust system - not louder than the stock system, but replaced as the stock back boxes tend to rust away
New HT leads
Oil & filter service
The car is sitting on three Pirelli P Zero run flats and an Avon tyre. I usually kept Pirelli's on but due to a puncture on a road trip i had to chuck an Avon on to get me home!
It is very clean underneath with no signs of any corrosion which is sometimes typical of a car this age.
Needless to say it comes with full service history and a bundle of receipts.
I'm happy to show you around the car and send any photos/videos of the car at request. Get in touch to arrange a viewing today on 07523376040.
