For sale here is my 2004 Mini Cooper S R53
Please read on as it isn't just your average used Cooper S
Mileage on the shell is 110K, however I replaced the engine 1000 miles ago with a 68000mile engine.
Whilst doing it I replaced all the seals on the engine so it doesn't leak oil like the average cooper S.

I have also done the following whilst doing this wee project.
Serviced supercharger (100k service item), bolted on new water pump whilst at it.
Upgraded GTT intercooler
Kavs 17% reduction pulley
Red silicone hoses all round
John cooper works exhaust system
Full service of engine, new oil new waterless coolant new coolant bottle, new plugs.
New clutch
New brakes all round
Upgraded front calipers. (John cooper works spec brakes) taken from newer R56 mini with bigger discs on the front for better stopping power.
Braided hoses and new front brake pipes.
new ball joints, track rod ends and tie rods.
new front wheel bearings
fuel tank straps replaced as were an advisory at last mot.
New battery
Wheels powder coated and in mint condition with brand new tyres all round.
upgraded Kenwood Bluetooth cd player
body work wise front bumper painted. Tailgate replaced to remove common rust issue.
Black front grills
I bought the car as a non runner project and everything the car has needed it got. I probably spent more on it than its worth. However if you are looking for a good car that will run well mechanically then this is probably the one to have. It starts first time every time and runs with no issues.
Its pretty tidy with only a couple of little trolley dings on it. Car has just benefitted from a recent machine polish as well so body looks pretty clean.
Please don't let the slightly higher price put you off as buying cheaper wont have all these new parts on it and will only cost more in the long run.
Everything works on the car
Mot until July
See the build thread for more info
£2200
