See my Wheelwell page: https://wheelwell.com/michael-cohen/...05-mini-cooper

Car is located in Glencoe, IL. About 20 minutes north of Chicago.

The major features:
Slicktop—no sunroof

RMW big head, shorty header, tune, etc. JCW exhaust. 300 hp.

Full suspension. Bilstein coilovers, camber plates, sway bar, end links, etc

Engine has approx 60k miles

Lots of recent maintenance including new clutch, new AC, new trim pieces, new rear tail lights, new wipers, recent tune by Jan at RMW.

Very fun. I did not track but it would be a monster.

The bad. Cosmetics. No one thing is really bad but several little things. At this point either best as a weekend driver or track car. You could probably make money parting it out.

Thanks! I'm about 20 minutes north of Chicago in a town called Glencoe. When do you want to look at the car?
