For sale my tiny, wonderful driving machine.

2006 Mini Cooper S "R53" John Cooper Works. Certainly not the usual Mini, the last model year of the Supercharged. Definitely a drivers' car, it begs to be driven fast. The car comes with full service history from day one, I'm the second owner and I know the first one personally.

The car is in excellent shape inside and out with all services done and all wear and tear parts replaced recently or very recently.

This is a factory John Cooper Works Mini:
Uprated cylinder head, gas-flowed and ported
Uprated supercharger, faster-spinning
Uprated spark plugs
Uprated exhaust system
Uprated injectors
Remapped ECU for the injectors
Uprated air intake system and air filter
Decorative badges, individually numbered engine plate and certificate signed by Mike Cooper

Packages and configuration:
- Cold weather package (heated front seats and external mirrors)
- Garage door opener built into the rear view mirror
- Harman Kardon sound system
- Navigation (with updated 2013 maps)
- Climate control
- All weather and carpet mats (currently with all weather, carpet maps are brand new)

I think this is a pretty exhaustive list. A couple things now: if you think you like it, you should come for a test drive. If the ad is up, the car is available.
If you're going to try and scam me, good luck, I won't even respond.
No trades, low ballers or tire kickers.

VIN: WMWRE33566TL18663

 

FWIW, Jacques Andres says it's the most solid R53 he's ever seen.
