It's a 2003 R53 MCS that's for sale on Facebook Marketplace.......$3,500.......the rest of the car looks stock, interior, engine compartment, etc......
That has to really be hard on the wheel hub bearings......
Must be serious stiff suspension to keep from popping off the fender trim at every bump in the road...Does look like they have them pop riveted or bolted on though...

Look can be deceiving. It may be a real sleeper of a Mini ready for open-wheel racing. Per Wikipedia:
"An open-wheel car (formula car, or often single-seater car in British English) is a car with the wheels outside the car's main body, and usually having only one seat. Open-wheel cars contrast with street cars, sports cars, stock cars, and touring cars, which have their wheels below the body or inside fenders. Open-wheel cars are usually built specifically for road racing, frequently with a higher degree of technological sophistication than in other forms of motor sport. Open-wheel street cars, such as the Ariel Atom, are very scarce as they are often impractical for everyday use.["
