WHY I'M SELLING
I bought this Cooper S last year and put 2k into future-proofing it, cooling system, brakes, exhaust, full specialist service, so it can be enjoyed all year round (roof down in summer, heated-glass rear screen in winter). Now that my partner's larger car covers the daily duties, running two cars no longer makes sense, so this well-sorted Mini is up for a reluctant sale.
