I hope that someone scoops this up and does just that.... all these trailer-queens on BAT are starting to wear on me.... Love seeing these cars... GP1/2/3 driven and making fun memories for the owners. This is the ultimate grocery getter !!!

I'm not sure why I'm posting this because its not actually a good deal - but I went to see it, and thought I'd save anyone who's thinking of doing the same some time:
clutch maybe has 500 miles left on it
power steering is almost completely inoperable
Lots of damage to the front aero bumper
Lots of damage to the passenger side skirt
Drivers seat is in awful condition and does not raise or lower (its at its highest point right now)
Rides extremely rough - probably needs new struts and strut mounts
On the upside, the engine is strong and it pulls very very nicely

Have y'all ever seen those car lotteries in the UK where you buy a ticket for a small price?
Pretty crazy thing, and there's a few different ones in operation.
i.e.:
https://dreamcargiveaways.co.uk/curr...mini-jcw-1000/
:
Here's an R53 slicktop!
https://retrocomps.co.uk/win/2003-mini-cooper-s/
Not much detail with that one,
and a very crap viddy too:
Odd stuff really, wouldn't mind seeing something similar done Stateside.
I mean JAYSUS!,
a brand new Yaris GR?

Too damn cool!

Thanks for the links and thinking of my future BRG guys! I'm afraid there's already enough marriage friction that comes with building a new house, so a $1000 pallette showing up containing car seats for a car I don't own yet wouldn't exactly go over well right now! But I seriously would buy those in a heartbeat in 'normal' times. I've done it before on other cars I've had!
Then again... There's not much leather to dye to match on the door cards or dash on this R58,

I saw one at cars n coffee yesterday and its quirkiness is totally up my alley.

Wow! But aren't those for R56 not R53? or are seats interchangeable on those two generations? What about door cards? These are nice a subtle too, unlike those other R53 green seats.

The R56 seats will fit the R53.

Yea it’s not bad. I found a 2013 S with Recaros too. It has 90k miles and needs a clutch but it’s super clean. No car I’ve seen in the past 8 months has been perfect, but having a project would be nice. Decisions lol.

My only comment is: if a seller is asking a premium price, at least take the time to give it a full detail. I mean, really, this is the best seller can do? That really doesn't present very well.
#1675
It has the full anthracite headliner including pillars. It is missing the rear aero bumper for some reason. I’m guessing it was hit and they couldn’t find a replacement. Someone traded it into the dealer. The dealer is absolutely clueless about minis. That amount of brake dust takes a long time to build up on the wheels. If an owner can’t even wash the car, they definitely dont do any maintenance. It’s a pass for me.
