The seller offers for sale this 2006 Mini Cooper S, powered by a 1.6-litre supercharged four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. This R53 Cooper S is finished in Space Blue Metallic with a contrasting white roof and bonnet stripes in a JCW-trim. The seller reports that the car is ASI and FIVA certified and was overhauled in the course of obtaining certification, work that included attention to the timing chain, a check of the electronics, a check of the supercharger and some repainting. The car is supplied with a second set of rims fitted with winter tyres. The odometer shows 180,000 km.
The R53 was the first generation of the modern Mini under BMW ownership, and the Cooper S was its sporting flagship. Where lesser models were normally aspirated, the Cooper S used a supercharged 1.6-litre engine, giving it eager performance to match its go-kart handling. Its compact dimensions and distinctive styling made it an instant icon.
With its supercharged engine, manual gearbox and front-wheel drive, the Cooper S is known for sharp, engaging handling and a characterful driving experience. The Space Blue Metallic paint with white roof and stripes is a classic Cooper S combination, and the additional set of winter wheels adds to its year-round usability.
