SO what you are buying is a car that took about 6 months to build, and $22,000+. Car works and runs fine and I have a Dyno sheet showing 228WHP.

The good part:
You get an awesome car for THOUSANDS less than if you decided to do this all yourself.
Its basically a NEW 1st Generation MINI Cooper S underneath with less than 5k miles on it.
Its Fast!
And it was built right with all great parts and by some of the best people to ever touch a MINI.

The Bad:
Driver’s Seat shows wear, but there are fitted seat covers.
The JCW Suspension, R56 Rear Trailing Arms and Hotchkis Rear Sway Bar are all not installed, but are included in the sale.
There is a clunking noise from the front suspension, but that will be fixed by the above parts.


To the buyer, I will provide all paperwork, instructions and information related to the car and the build. I will put you in contact with each of the people that had something to do with the build. This is not a Craigslist car that you are taking a chance on, you will know EVERYTHING. The Price is NOT flexible, if you take an hour or two and price out the parts for the build you will see that there is no flex, so don’t ask. I am SURE that I missed things and I will add them as I remember them or questions related to them come up.

 

Wrong forum. This is for parts only.

 

Think of it as 15k$ worth of parts and a free car to carry them home in!

 

Question about the gauge cluster under the switches. Did you make that piece or did you buy it somewhere? You can pm me the answer if you dont want to start a discussion here, I am just curious because I cannot seem to find anything like that on the net.

 

Its actually a factory option, but came from the factory with gauges. If you look around you can find one for about 35 to 40$
