New R53 owner saying hello!
Hi,

New owner of an 04 MCS MC40. Without the knowledge in this forum, I would've had a much harder time tracking down the Mini I've always wanted! So, thank you for that!

Try us, you might be surprised. Welcome aboard. MC40, niiiccceee. That's what I started out looking to buy, ended up with an 04 JCW.

Looks like a little bit of modding. Cant tell its an MC40 that much anymore. But it looks clean.

Thanks for the pics.

I guess the floor mats, shift **** and gauges is the only way to tell that it's an MC40 as I misplaced the plaque.

Seats and dash. Also the rally lights , chili red w/ white roof and no sunroof , are the big tellers for the MINI know hows.

Very clean.
