Good overall condition for its age, although there is some lacquer peel on the driver's door, rear quarter and tailgate. The front CV joints have recently started clicking slightly, only noticeable with the window down, so they will likely need replacing in future.
A genuine, well-sorted Cooper S with strong maintenance history, tasteful modifications and plenty of recent work completed.
