All MINIs are born equal, but some are more equal than others... Stage 1 Motors are pleased to offer this 2017 (67 plate) MINI Hatch Cooper S Auto, a car that's spent its whole life pretending to be sensible while hiding a 2.0-litre turbo engine — and a genuinely serious spec sheet — that very much isn't. Finished in a smart, understated Grey and sat on 17in Cosmos Black alloys, this is the S in Cooper S taken seriously — brisk, planted, and genuinely entertaining down a B-road, with the slick automatic gearbox and Variable Damper Control meaning you get proper pace and a composed ride without the leg workout. The Euro 6 stop/start engine strikes a rare balance between performance and practicality, and it's fully ULEZ compliant, so it's just as at home in town as it is out of it. Where this one really earns its keep is the specification. Finished with the Chili Pack and MINI Tech Pack, it comes loaded with a panoramic electric glass sunroof, Harman Kardon Hi-Fi, Media Pack XL with enhanced Bluetooth and USB audio, LED headlights with cornering lights, and a head-up display that keeps your eyes where they belong. Practical touches run deep too — front and rear park distance control, a rear view camera, darkened rear glass, heated front seats and a heated windscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, auto-dimming mirrors, electrically folding door mirrors for good measure. With just 30,500 miles covered and two owners from new, this is a well-kept, well-optioned example that's been driven, not just admired. Viewing strictly by appointment — as a family-run dealership based in Knaresborough, we like to give every car, and every customer, our full attention.
