Hey everyone,

I wanted to give the NAM community a heads-up before my auction goes live on Bring a Trailer in the next day or two. I’ll be listing my 2008 MINI Cooper S Convertible Sidewalk Edition / JCW / "Last of the Supercharged" (#48/100) - 6-speed manual, garage-kept here in Florida, 58,868 miles, and in great shape.

Since purchasing it, I’ve sorted out a few minor items: replaced the CPS O-ring, installed new power steering hoses and reservoir, flushed the brakes when replacing the master cylinder, and resolved an ABS light that traced back to a faulty wheel-speed sensor. I've also bought some new shoes: Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS, which currently have less than 100 miles and 10/32 tread on them. The car is now mechanically flawless as far as I can tell, no leaks and no issues whatsoever.

Cosmetically, I also tidied a few details: installed a Mini Mayhem weather-seal kit above the trunk, cleaned up the rear convertible top seams, and fitted a new e-brake handle (the chrome piece was missing, so I replaced the whole unit).

It’ll be a no-reserve auction, and I figured the NAM crowd would appreciate the car for what it is -- a special piece of MINI history. Would love to hear from other Last 100 Supercharged owners about their experiences. I’m honestly sad to let it go after putting so much time and care into it, but with a two-car garage and four vehicles, something’s got to give.

Once the Bring a Trailer link is live, I’ll post it here as well. (Hopefully posting in the right place, apologies in advance if not!)
