Selling my much-loved R53 Cooper S due to relocating overseas. This has been my reliable daily driver and an enjoyable example of the iconic supercharged MINI. Mileage will increase slightly as it is still in use.

Recent Maintenance:
Oil and filter changed every 4,000 miles

The car has been enthusiast-owned and well maintained. The previous two owners both worked in the automotive industry, and it has been properly looked after.
Condition:
The car presents very well for its age, but it is not a showroom car. It has some age-related cosmetic marks, including the common R53 bonnet and boot paint issues, plus a few minor dents.
Other points worth noting:
Nearside rear exhaust mount needs replacing
Headlights would benefit from polishing
Nearside front bonnet cable requires replacement (replacement part included)
A great opportunity for someone looking for a sorted R53 Cooper S with a good maintenance history and tasteful upgrades.
