2008 MINI Cooper S Convertible R52 | Supercharged | Manual | Long MOT A brilliant little car for someone who enjoys driving and wants an affordable, characterful MINI with plenty of life left to enjoy. A proper supercharged MINI Cooper S, full of character, amazing fun to drive and increasingly sought after by enthusiasts. This is one of the last of the original-generation R52 Cooper S convertibles, powered by the lively 1.6-litre supercharged engine and paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Famous for its distinctive supercharger whine, go-kart handling and engaging driving experience, this generation of MINI has a character all of its own. Finished in metallic silver with contrasting black bonnet stripes, black alloy wheels, Union Jack-style mirror caps and a black convertible roof, it's a great-looking little car with plenty of personality. Inside, there's a smart black leather interior, air conditioning, sporty instrumentation and the classic MINI retro-inspired dashboard. * 2008 MINI Cooper S R52 Convertible * 1.6-litre supercharged petrol engine * 6-speed manual gearbox * 99,930 miles * Metallic silver exterior * Black leather interior * Black electric convertible roof * Black alloy wheels * Contrasting bonnet stripes * Union Jack-style mirror caps * Air conditioning * Front suspension rebuilt in 2023 * MOT until May 2027 * Runs and drives well, with no known mechanical problems Convertible roof: Known fault, replacement part included. The electric roof motor runs, but currently operates only the passenger side. The driver's side cable became jammed against a screw and needs replacing. A replacement cable is included with the sale. The repair requires dismantling the relevant roof mechanism and fitting the new cable, which I simply haven't had time to do myself. The roof is currently closed and watertight. I'm just being completely upfront about this so the new owner knows what needs attention. The car presents well for its age, with some expected cosmetic wear consistent with a vehicle of this age and mileage. It starts, runs and drives well, and the front suspension was rebuilt in 2023. Meticulously maintained. With a long MOT until May 2027, desirable supercharged engine, manual gearbox and black leather interior, this is a lot of MINI for the money. £2,495 or sensible nearest offer.
