FS: 2003 MCS - Electric Blue/White - Orginal Owner $12.5 (FL)

I special ordered this MINI Cooper S to fulfill the void left by the sale of my BMW M3. It’s a MINI Cooper S with the “sporting minded driver” in mind. I have the original sticker showing my “MINImalist/sporting” approach. The color is the coveted and discontinued Electric Blue Metallic. The roof and mirrors are white. The only options are the Lapis Blue Profile Leather and the Combo #2 Sport Package. The package includes the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), sport seats, front fog lamps, and Xenon headlights with power washers. It also has 17” alloy wheels (upgraded to the R90 wheels) – a dealer installed option at the time of purchase. It currently has about 84,000 miles in it.

The MINI experience is not complete without “personalizing” ones MINI. I went after the personalization with a vengeance. I’ve had most of the “basic” modifications done without jeopardizing the quality of use for every day driving. The list of modifications is long – with great thought going into each upgrade.
  • 15% reduction pulley (installed by Randy Web)
  • EVOTech software upgrade (Randy Web/Rennsport Mercedes in West Palm Beach).
  • Milltek exhaust
  • B&M short shifter
  • Glove box organizer
  • Center arm rest with storage
  • Cubby organizer (under radio)
  • Factory roof rack with bicycle tray
  • 3M Clear Bra – recently removed (the bonnet has absolutely no dings)
  • Stubby antenna – no more remote control car look
  • Dealer installed R90 wheels
  • Tinted windows – not black but darkened
I recently purchased four new tires and replaced the brake pad and rotors (less than 3500 miles ago). I regularly have the oil changed and hand wash the car weekly. It has never been through a car wash. I personally wax the car at least quarterly using the best available products. I am presently, and have always been a car fanatic – my problem not yours. This car is as clean as they come, you won’t be disappointed.

I have pounds of MINI Marketing Propaganda that I’ve collected along the way. The MINI community is like no other. Buy the car and join the “club” for free. There are no bad MINI owners. This car will bring a smile to you every day. The whirling sound of the supercharger hasn’t been matched since Batman cruised Gotham City.

This is an adult owned, fanatically maintained original owner MINI. I’ll work with you within reason on any inspections you may want. The Carfax is clean – there has never been any damage or body work. It's always been in sunny south Florida.

I have many more pictures I can email. My asking price is $12,500. I haven't yet listed it anywhere else. Please don't submit lowball offers. I'm not at that point.

great looking car. I wish the miles were down :( This would have been a deal for me. I am new to the community coming from the import world. How are the Minis motors with higher miles? Would you do a compression test?

email me more pics please. na.ch@comcast.net

Interested

Need to set up travel arrangements, but I would like to buy it, if still available.

Beautiful car! I trave to S FL regularly for business and would be happy to have a look at the car for an out of state buyer. To the seller, do you have any more info about where you had your software upgrade done?

I had the software done at Rennsport in West Palm Beach. They're primarily a Mercedes tuning shop - pretty well known in those circles I think. Randy Webb was using that shop for one of his "Pully Parties" where he did about 30 cars in a weekend with pullies and some with software. I had both done at the same time. They still have a backup copy of the software there.

Any time you're in south Florida I'm usually available to show you the car.

I'll be down there next week. If it has not sold by then, PM me your number. It would be nice to meet up and I can post a full write up of my impressions of your car here on your for sale thread. Thanks for the software info. Is Randy Webb still there at Rennsport or is it Renntech?
