Just picked up a stablemate for my '11 R57-S.
Introducing the latest addition to the family.
'07 R52-S.
I wasn't going to buy it because there is no 3rd pedal (automatic).
I'm a 3 pedal kind of guy...
The car is in too good of condition and a price I couldn't turn down.
Has several JCW pieces including exhaust.
60K on the odometer.

 

Congrats that looks like a great lower mileage find

 

Nice looking Vert not that I have any preferences . . .

 

The only issue with the Vert is that when you don't have the second instrument pod at the steering wheel that contains the speedo, it is difficult to see the red led readout when the top is down. I put a HUD in mine that connects to the OBD2.

 

Hi and welcome in!

 

Looks good, I feel your sorrow over the missing pedal.

Motor On!

 

Congrats that's a very clean R52

 

Thanks... It's a clean little car.
The missing 3rd pedal is a diversion.
I own multiples; this makes 3 out of 8 without the clutch.

Speaking of 'Motor On'; the plate on my '11.

Congratulations on the addition to the family. The two pedal version will be a different kind of fun, but fun none the less.

 

The Ford dealer at time of sale issued a 3 month, 3,000 mile full drivetrain warranty.
Car has transmission problems; Ford first said they would not cover it due to the sale price of the vehicle. I made it clear I have a signed document that says they will.
Once they realized their error they apologized for the miscommunication and have shipped the car to Momentum Mini for transmission repair.
From what I'm reading that could translate into a spendy repair for them.
Basically they swap them out with rebuilds from Mini?
Have to give Russell and Smith Ford 👍for handling their business.
Going to pass by Momentum tomorrow for an update.

 

Deja vu for me. I bought mine and it started acting up right away. Unfortunately the auto box has a pretty common issue with the valve body wearing prematurely. A whole tranny swap is not normally required, but since you aren't paying for it,,, bonus!
