*Listed for Auction*

Hey all, new to the forum but a MINI fan since childhood. Even though I’m selling, I’m happy I got to live out the dream in with this car. VIN is WMWSU9C55DT722624. I’m located in Long Beach. Having trouble with the photo uploads, but pictures can be seen here.

Listed my manual 2013 MINI Cooper JCW Hardtop in the classic JCW colors - Black with Chili Red roof and mirror caps and JCW Bonnet Stripes - on Cars & Bids.. This was my daily until recently, and is sitting at 50,350 miles.

This car is in excellent condition and has been well cared for throughout its life. Mechanically, it is perfect. The interior is in immaculate condition with heated JCW cloth seats. I have a Bluetooth adapter for the stereo which will be included in the sale. The exterior is about an 8/10. There are minor imperfections in the paint, all of which can be corrected with polishing and/or detailing. The left rear fender has a few scratches in the plastic, and the wheels have some curb rash. All imperfections were present when I bought the car and have not degraded over time.

I truly love this car, but am selling due to an unexpected opportunity that arose for me to buy a sports car from a friend. That, combined with an upcoming move that will give me an extra parking spot, means I’m looking at a scenario in which this car becomes strictly a commuter. When I bought it I intended to use it as a daily as well as for pleasure, but with the latter role having been taken by another car, this is set to see much more of the freeway than it does backroads. It deserves better than that, as it is a wonderful, fun, extremely quick car. As such, I’m looking to sell it so it can get its proper use and I can daily something more suited for freeway cruising.

Thanks all, please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Slicktop is a definite plus, those are hard to find.

Thanks! I got really lucky when I found it. I was looking for the Black/Red colorway with a slicktop and this one happened to be right near me, so I jumped on it.

I almost bought a GP instead of this, but as cool as they are it didn’t really fit the bill for an all-rounder or daily for me. I’m actually looking at putting this one up on BaT or Cars & Bids next week. Strangely, there haven’t been many non-GP R56 JCWs ever sold on BaT.

It hasn’t gone up just yet, but the submission has been accepted and the listing is in the works. It should be up within the next week. I’ll be sure to give another heads up where it’s gone live!
