It was trailered to Rindge, NH and is currently in a heated garage and covered.
Car is again back in South Florida, Wellington where it thrives.  


 Have all owners manual, JCW certificate, original new car checklist, window sticker (a lot of the writing wore off from being folded), one key, two keys, and clean NH title.



 What I noticed it had done when I got it, The factory JCW suspension with sticker on driver door and factory aero kit. WMW strut bar and coolant bottle, JCW carbon fiber hatch handle and hood scoop (I’ve taken both off and confirmed both to have the JCW stickers, scoop was unbolted to fully clean and paint correct car, hatch handle was loose and needed to be re-glued to the plate light/hatch release button assembly) OEM aux cable in glovebox, glovebox organizer, trunk storage net, cup holder, oem silver aux oil temp and voltage gauges behind regular cup holders, oem bag holder on back seat in trunk area, new battery, appears to be two new cv joints, possibly aftermarket, poly control arm bushings (noticed when I was under it, haven’t heard them make any noise and all feels tight) I was told it has a new a/c compressor which the a/c blows very cold here in south FL and a clutchmasters clutch, makes a small amount of chatter at idle with clutch pedal released. Minidomore hidden hitch with light wiring harness, rear fog light was missing, so I had to replace it, all fits perfectly, I do not have the hitch ball mount or pin.

 The negatives with the car is that it has 126k 134k as of 10/12/24 miles, the front bumper has some pitting and was cracked underneath, I’ve included pics. The front bumper could benefit from being repainted, but is also fine as is, I had no intention of having it painted, I am just being honest not to expect a perfect front bumper. The hood has some normal road rash chips from 126k of driving. There is a ding on the left fender and qtr just in front of and behind the left door. The rear bumper has a small nick, please see pics. The passenger front seat bottom has some marks from what looks like a dog standing on the front seat, see pics. Two of the wheels have some curb rash, please see below for explanation of wheels/tires. This is me picking apart the car, being honest as I know most people would be traveling to get this. I have no problem FaceTiming and sending videos or more pics of the car as an interested buyer requests.



 The only thing left on my list I was going to do was a set of white wheels of some sort, (SEE IPDATE BELOW ON WHEELS AND TIRES), I wasn’t a fan of the R98 web spikes on it currently, two of the wheels have some curb rash and the tires, while they hold air and have some tread left are old Yokohama tires that are scalloped in the rear and thus have road noise. I just couldn’t find which wheels to pull the trigger on and as much as I love the car, I searched for this car for about 2 years, it just isn’t right for us. We had an 05 mini back in the early 2010’s that we loved and always regretted selling. We have a 1973 Innocenti Mini and have had quite a few cars since our last r53. As soon as we got this one, we realized it wasn’t going to work for us like it did in the past and need to move back into something else. I absolutely love the car, it’s everything we wanted, just doesn’t work for us unfortunately. Hoping it will go to another enthusiast who will care for it.

 It starts runs drives and stops very well, it has been a great car in the time we have had it, and it sounds awesome with the Milltek header and JCW exhaust. The car has no issues and could continue to be driven just the way it is, but tires or a set of wheels and tires would really make this car perfect. It will come with whatever I have left for the car, some factory marker lights, the belt tensioner tool, it came with another cv joint forget which side, and some odds and ends that I have replaced and kept the original.

Update:
As of 1/6/24 it now has a new cryo treated timing chain with new sprockets, guides and tensioner. I started it 2 weeks ago and was met with a nasty rattle. Upon teardown the tensioner had stuck in so wasn’t much tension on chain. It was still in time, it did not jump. Along with this I did all new seals gaskets and o rings that were touched, oil change, wmw 2% overdrive crank pulley instead of the oem size ati pulley as well as a new gates belt. 
Also have replaced the coolant bottle with an oem, new oem coil, cabrio braces, and have 18” R105 wheels in white having continental dws being installed this week along with an alignment. 
Also have removed the armrest and replaced with a non armrest center console but still have the armrest.
