Description
The Mini F56 Challenge 210 is a highly collectible and desirable Cooper S special edition. This example - No.51 - is in immaculate condition with 42k miles and some tasteful and functional upgrades. This is an excellent and fun driver's car - but it's also refined and practical, with considerate and useful updates and improvements.
Standard specification includes pearlescent Moonwalk Grey paint with black factory bonnet and side graphics. Full colour Media Pack XL with larger screen and essential updated Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, Harmon Kardon surround system with under-seat subs and 20Gb on-board hard drive, Bluetooth phone prep with USB and aux, Head-Up display (HUD) with sports mode, colour reverse camera with rear parking sensors, heated seats with cross-punch leather upholstery and Extended Interior Ambient Lighting.
The car features the full JCW Pro Kit (front and rear aero bumpers, carbon fibre air intake and mirror caps) as well as a professional de-chrome Shadow Pack, which includes official Belt Line, headlight surrounds, black LED front spotlights. The Challenge 210 cars were fitted from new with the JCW Pro Bluetooth-controlled valved exhaust, which has a remote control. The car comes with 2 keys, of which one is a special "210" shape.
This MINI Challenge 210 has over 7k of upgrades. Every original item removed from the car is boxed and included in the sale (right down to the original radio aerial). All upgrades are reversible, and the parts are valuable.
The following items have been added: MMR 4-wheel big brake kit, Bilstein B14 coil-over suspension, MMR adjustable drop-links, Forge Motorsport Intake Pipe and adjustable Short-shifter, Eventuri intake kit, NM Engineering Strut Brace, Craven Speed shifter. Cosmetically the car has LCI-spec OEM tail-lights and the spotlights have Rally-style yellow stone-chip protectors installed. Finally there is a hard-wired Garmin dashcam with parking mode and the car benefits from a 2-year ceramic coating.
This vehicle has a full service history and four brand-new Continental Sport Contact 7 tyres with BMW-approved sidewall markings (non-runflats). It has been impeccably maintained, with the only wear and tear being a 4mm stone chip near one headlight and some minor corrosion to the alloy wheels. I would love to keep No.51 as a weekender, but I need space for a new Company vehicle.
