Love the challenge more then a slicktop JCW or a GP1. Does it have a factory rollbar and rear seat delete? Definitely has aero package and looks like every JCW carbon fiber addon . If I already didnt have 3 of them I would be biting on this one

I’ve seen the “challenge” mini for sale many times over the passed few years. It’s obviously not a real challenge mini. I found the link for the last time it was listed for sale on NAM which should help anyone who is interested in it.

I have known about that “challenge” car since it was new and in NorCal
Its not a real challenge car. The guy just had the badge made.
I was going to buy it a few years ago in Texas but ultimately passed, I know a bit about that car. If anyone is seriously considering buying it feel free to PM me.

Well I am not that interested in it. Just wondering about rear seat delete? and rollbar?. Also were the challenge cars for the Canadian market? Guess I will google it :P. It is a nicely equipped JCW but NOT a 15K car

This one is near me-- 06 JCW with low miles. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto...809407676.html
If I didn't have my 06 with aero kit and LSD I would be looking at this.

I am selling my 2012 MCS with ~72900 miles: https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ct...810679733.html
Clean CARFAX & runs great. Had the thermostat housing replaced at Herb Chambers Mini of Boston just before the 70k miles emissions warranty cutoff, the coolant system serviced at about 50k, and a gasket oil leak fixed when I purchased it ~40K. It hasn't burned a drop of oil since I purchased it as far as I can tell.
Accident Number: 1
Date of Accident: 1/26/2015
Location: BOSTON, MA
#562
I just saw that on car gurus as well... the CARFAX is clean so I’m looking into this. It was sold to me as having no accident history and has no apparent evidence of an accident, and has been fine for 30k miles. I’ve contacted the BPO to get the incident report.

Went and drove this one, super clean. Unfortunately i'm looking for an r53, but this has been very well taken care of.

I came very close to buying it and was planning on flying out to SLC and driving it back home,
but I ended up going with an '06 JCW slicktop down in Florida...
..yet there are times when I still regret not getting that SLC car because the miles were so low and the performance spec was pretty great.
Good luck with your search ---
I know how frustrating it can be as it took me around 6 months to find the right car:

Bought it back in April at 99k and now sits at 114k as I've been driving it quite a bit.

Found this one today. Looks like it has minor damage to front bumper cover but it doesn't look too bad.

Low mileage R53 in KC
2005 Mini Cooper S, very clean, only 21k original miles - $7500

Only 21k miles. Salvage title, but if the explanation is accurate, nothing to be concerned about. Otherwise looks nice!
