2006 MINI MINI

This is an incredible opportunity to own a rare, late-model, Factory-Built R53 John Cooper Works with a top spec. I purchased the car back in March from its previous owner who had owned it for 7+ years. At the time, the car had been off the road for around a year with the previous owner not having had the time to get the car road worthy due to work commitments. Since purchasing, I have worked on getting it back on the road and driving its best. The JCW is a treat to drive, the supercharger whine combined with the go-kart handling create a driving experience like no other.

This particular JCW comes with a top spec:

Genuine Factory JCW 210 bhp tuning kit

Factory-fitted 25% Limited Slip Differential (LSD)

JCW Brake Kit

JCW Cat-Back Exhaust with genuine JCW tips

JCW Sports Suspension

Astro Black Metallic Paint

Cockpit Chrono Pack

Harman Kardon Premium Sound System

Xenon Headlights

Chili Pack (Cruise control, climate control, manual 6-speed)

These are some parts that were not apart of the original spec sheet, but were added at some stage by later owners:

BBS R90 17 Inch rims (Genuine)

Sparco John Cooper Works Bucket Seats (Front only)

The car has had loads of recent work done to it including the following:

New Crankshaft Pulley (OEM Febi Bilstein)

New Timing Chain Tensioner & Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch

New Belt Tensioner (with upgraded strut/bushing)

New Alternator & New Battery

Refurbished Power Steering Pump & refurbished fan

New Front Anti-Roll Bar Links

Fresh Fluid Service: Engine oil, oil filter, and coolant top-up

Carried out by MINI Specialist:

New rear brake pipes + full system brake fluid bleed

New nearside front inner CV boot

*Please see picture of invoice for details

Carried out by Previous Owner:

Supercharger service completed

New Clutch & Upgraded Flywheel

New coolant expansion tank

Modifications:

Airtec Performance Intercooler

Tein Racing Lowering Springs

Onto the negatives:

The car has been self maintained by enthusiasts which means there are only 3 stamps in the service book. The bodywork also shows its age and mileage, there are stone chips on the front bumper & bonnet, and the headlining has begun to sag (an r53 right of passage) after all the heat in the recent weeks. Please see the photos for all of these and to see the condition of the bodywork.

The car has been a genuine joy to drive since passing its MOT. A part of me wishes I could keep it, however, due to a change in circumstances I am not able to keep it longterm.

I am happy for any pre purchase inspection to be done and for test drives (as long as fully comprehensive insurance is shown).

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
