This 2007 MINI Cooper S (R56) is an exceptional, freshly built example of one of the most exciting hot hatches on the road, with over £12,600 invested in upgrades and professional work to create a truly one-of-a-kind car. At its heart is a fully forged engine built for strength and performance, featuring K1 forged rods with ARP bolts, Wiseco pistons and rings, ARP head and main stud kits, King main and big-end bearings, Supertech beehive valve springs, and a Supertech performance head gasket, all supported by a head oil cooler kit with a 16-row radiator to keep temperatures in check. Power comes from a Stage 3 remap by Lohen MINI, delivering an impressive 280BHP, while a refurbished turbo with uprated thrust washers and a comprehensive cylinder-head deep clean and pressure test ensure reliability under load. The drivetrain is equally well prepared with a Helix clutch and lightweight flywheel (35-7008) and a Quaife limited-slip differential, giving precise power delivery and excellent traction. Supporting upgrades include a new timing-chain kit, crank and oil-pump sprockets, front and rear crankshaft oil seals, hydraulic tappets, 16 rocker arms, and fresh NGK performance spark plugs. Inside, the car blends driver focus and motorsport feel with reclining semi-bucket seats, a rear-seat delete, and a suite of extra gauges for boost, oil pressure, and multi-readouts, keeping you connected to the car's vital signs. Every part of this build has been carefully selected and installed with an emphasis on quality, strength, and driving enjoyment, making it not just a modified MINI but a thoughtfully engineered machine ready to thrill on the road or track. For enthusiasts seeking a sorted, high-performance MINI Cooper S with genuine character and serious engineering, this is an opportunity not to be missed. ******* At North West Trade Centre, all vehicles priced under £3,000 are offered under our Dutch Auction trade terms.
