Description
2006 MINI Cooper S Convertible (R52) - 90,000 miles
Owned within the family for just over 10 years and now only being sold due to lack of use/storage space. A genuine early supercharged Cooper S Convertible in largely original condition.
Starts, runs and drives well with strong performance from the supercharged engine. The car is standard apart from a stainless steel exhaust system which sounds great and is MOT compliant. Original exhaust may suit buyers wanting to return the car fully to factory specification.
Good specification including:
Heated leather seats
Xenon headlights
Factory satellite navigation
CD changer
Electric convertible roof
The car is 20 years old so it does have some age-related issues:
Slow puncture on the nearside front tyre (likely bead leak)
Water ingress in very heavy rain, although no obvious roof damage
Clutch bites low down on the pedal travel
Front seat stitching has come apart in places
Supercharger service has not been carried out during our ownership
Fuel consumption has worsened recently and there is occasionally a petrol smell on startup
MOT due August 22nd.
Overall a usable and increasingly rare supercharged MINI convertible with honest long-term ownership history, ideal as a summer car or project for an enthusiast.
