Mini Cooper S R53 Race Car (High Spec)

Reg: LA04 NNV

Price £14,995 Ono

Built and developed since 2022 to run in The Castle Combe Hot Hatch and Saloon Championships, but legal for many other Tin Tops Series. This high spec R53, supercharged Mini has had vast amounts spent as the current owner continued to try and improve lap times each season. It’s been lightened, made more powerful, with handling and braking improved as well. The current driver has achieved over 10 Class podiums in the car on what is well known for being one of the largest tin top grids in UK club racing, whilst achieving a PB of 1:16.2 at Castle Combe Circuit.

The car does have a V5C and plates so could be made road legal again under a competition MOT. There is a folder of history with the car with invoices for many of the upgrades including the engine rebuild. There is also a spares package with a set of new Pilot Sports on rims used for wets, JCW Spoiler and other bits and bobs. We have additional images available upon request as well as a walk around video and some onboard. Viewing by appointment only. We can assist with delivery and export if required.
