2003 MINI MINI

A seriously special example of one of the defining modern hot hatches.

This 2003 MINI Cooper S R53 John Cooper Works has covered just 37,350 miles from new and remains in remarkably original, unmolested condition something becoming increasingly difficult to find with early R53s.

Finished in Grey with a Black cloth interior, the car retains its original John Cooper Works certificate, an important piece of provenance confirming its JCW credentials.

At its heart is the characterful supercharged 1.6-litre engine, paired with a manual gearbox and delivering everything that made the first-generation Cooper S such an engaging drivers car. Instant throttle response, unmistakable supercharger whine and a lightweight, analogue feel that has become increasingly absent from modern performance cars.

The real appeal of this example, however, is its originality. So many R53 Cooper S and JCW cars have been modified, upgraded or heavily used over the years, making genuinely original, low-mileage examples increasingly difficult to find.

With just 37,350 miles, its original John Cooper Works documentation and beautifully preserved specification, this is exactly the type of R53 we look for an increasingly collectible example of one of the most characterful performance MINIs of its generation.

The car will be supplied with a full service and fresh MOT completed as part of the sale, ensuring it is fully prepared and ready for its next custodian.
