    I am reluctantly putting my Mini Cooper S chilli pack with panoramic sunroof up for sale due to a change in circumstances and work commitments. This is an R53 Model which has been a joy to own one of these while there are still some well-maintained ones! See below all details regarding my ownership of this car. All receipts have been kept for reference and can be inspected should you wish to view the car. I am very meticulous about my car and this mini has undergone the best treatment whenever it has required something. Recently MOT’d in April 2018 and most of the work carried out by the owner of a mini racing team who services my car with the same filters as his racing minis.

    Please be aware, this car is a Cat C damaged vehicle. Please don’t let this put you off as this car has been repaired to a high standard and was completed before I purchased in 2015. It was VOSA checked in 07/05/2013 and declared fit for use at this date.
