Description

If you're looking for a genuinely well-cared-for, largely original R53 MINI Cooper S, this is a superb example. Finished in stunning Electric Blue Metallic with contrasting white bonnet stripes, white 17-inch alloy wheels, spot lamps and a panoramic glass roof, it combines the iconic looks of the supercharged Cooper S with an excellent specification and an extensive maintenance history. I've owned the car for the past two years, having purchased it from MINI specialist , and it has continued to be maintained regardless of cost. It has covered just 72,000 miles and remains a pleasure to drive, with the distinctive performance and character that made the R53 such a modern classic. The car is HPI Clear, comes with Full Service History, and will be supplied with 12 months MOT for complete peace of mind. Specification: 1.6 Supercharged Cooper S 6-speed manual gearbox Electric Blue Metallic Blue Lounge Leather interior Panoramic glass roof (tilt & slide - perfect working order) Heated front seats Harman Kardon sound system Xenon headlights Cruise control Air conditioning (recently serviced and ice cold) Front spot lamps 17-inch white alloy wheels White bonnet stripes Chrome exterior detailing Leather multifunction sports interior Split folding rear seats Maintenance & History Benefits from an extensive maintenance record with a Full Service History and numerous invoices documenting work carried out throughout its life (see picture). Recent maintenance includes: Full service at 71,552 miles (June 2025) Brand new battery fitted March 2026 (warranty until 2031) Air conditioning professionally serviced Rocker cover gasket replaced Oil filter housing gasket replaced Front and rear brake discs and pads replaced Brake pipes renewed Power steering pipe replaced Front drop links replaced New water bottle and coolant flush Alloy wheels professionally refurbished, straightened and balanced MOT advisories addressed where applicable The car starts immediately, drives beautifully and performs exactly as a well-maintained R53 should. Condition The bodywork presents extremely well for a 20-year-old MINI, with a deep shine to the paintwork and a very smart interior. The leather seats remain in excellent condition with very minor, age-related creasing you'd expect. The panoramic roof operates perfectly, the cabin is clean and well cared for, and everything works as it should. 4 previous owners, HPI clear, ready to drive away (zero faults). Reluctant sale.
