Coming of age - a sassy 21 years old :)
That's this fun, funky Gen1 2004 R53 JCW mini. MOT'd till end of March 2026.
It's been a great ride for me but I have acquired a Gen3 JCW - - - would love to keep miniB but practicality won't allow.
OK, he's done 97K miles but with its Supercharged 210BHP 1.6l engine, the fact he's had recent 'fluids' change - oil, brakes, coolant = over 500 spent (see photo of bills) as well as a new battery when it was MOT time in March - - goes fantastically!!!
In 2023 had a new PAS pump, Alternator and alternator belt.
So - Info on 'features and fittings' :
ABS; Body colour bumper; CD Player!; Airbags: Folding rear seats; Front electric windows; Height adjustable seats which are heated; Remote locking; Service indicator; Steering rake adjustment; 3x3 point rear seatbelts; JCW alloys; Traction control; Air Con; Front foglights; Headlight washers; Lumbar support; Leather seats; 6 speed front wheel drive; 4 seats.
WOW - THAT's a LOT for yer money.
There are some bodywork issues - - c'mon, doesn't every 21 year old have some concerns over their body?!:)
-- The driver's side bolster is a little creased
-- Some advisories are about rust on the subfames - but hey, 21 years and 97k miles that is bound to be the case.
So, be prepared for one or two minor jobs which come with the territory, but be prepared for a LOT OF FUN.
