Considering a 20153 Mini Challenge 210...

Anything specific I need to look out for re the car itself and its B48 engine?

It's already had the JCW brakes upgrade, from the reading I've done, that's a worthy upgrade

It's to be for a weekend driving car; so the likes of fuel economy etc aren't a worry as it'll be lucky to do 3-4k miles a year

Why not just go for a JCW? From what i can see the 210 is the Cooper S with the power upgrade and some stickers.
The B48 is a proven reliable engine used in everything from BMW/Mini these days. Oil changes are every 2 years 19k miles so make sure none have been missed even if its low mileage.

They're not in budget that I've seen; don't want to spend more than £10k and the ones I've seen are all £12k upwards; if not more

Where have you seen a Challenge 210 for £10k?

Word of mouth via my Motorsport mechanic pal. One of his clients is looking to move his on as his new car has arrived...

Hoping to go and see it this weekend
