Description:

Just seeing if anyone is interested in my 2003 MINI cooper S JCW clone. All the body, interior, and performance have been done to match a JCW, but with aftermarket parts. Performance upgrades are an M7 tuning supercharger pully upgrade, M7 cold air intake, M7 oil catch can, and M7 front strut brace. It also has an invidia titanium cat-back exhaust that has an excellent tone, but is not obnoxious and does not drone. 

The exterior is in good condition. The paint has been well maintained and washed with care. Most importantly, no rust at all, as it is rarely driven on snowy roads, and always has its undercarriage cleaned in the spring. Exterior mods include an M7 carbon fiber front splitter, aero kit, and fog lights. It comes with two sets of wheels and tires, as shown in the pictures. The interior is black leather and is in excellent condition. No major stains or rips in the seats or floormats. It has JCW floormats, shift ****, and parking brake handle. The only notable flaws are a couple of small dings on the roof and a cracked back bumper that has a sticker over it from the previous owner. I was quoted $500 by a local shop so that has been subtracted from my original asking price.

Overall, I have very carefully picked only the highest quality upgrades to make this the most reliable, most fun, daily driver I could have. It is quick, agile, and gets 30+ miles per gallon on the highway. City driving is also a breeze as the clutch is incredibly light and easy to use. Its small size means you can park almost anywhere. It has a surprisingly roomy interior and can easily haul everyday items as the seats fold down. It has been babied its whole life. Most of its miles are highway miles and it was garage kept and rarely driven in rain and even more rarely snow. R53s with this low of miles, in this condition, in British Racing Green, and with quality modifications are getting hard to find. Everyone I drive with is always surprised that it's a 2003 car and loves it! I'm only selling it because I could use some spending money and would like to buy a motorcycle. I'm certain I will regret it someday as this exact car was my dream car growing up. I can meet potential buyers near Minneapolis and if you are very serious I would be willing to deliver if you live far away.

Recent maintenance:
-Front and rear wheel bearings
-Valve cover gasket
-Fresh Oil and filter change with Mobil 1 <500 miles ago
-New tires in March
-New oil dipstick
-New battery last year

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for the interest!

Thanks! Yeah there were a lot of times where I contemplated going with a back roof/mirrors and black and silver hood stripes but the green and white is just too timeless. I even kept the white wheels for if black goes back out of style lol.

Nice! Looks like it even has the rare Aero spoiler.

On a side note, that bucket looks familiar. Do you still have any tanks set up?

An update on this old post. I ended up selling it to a really nice guy in south dakota. After a year I decided I needed it back and bought it from him again. Last night I drove 4 hours each way after work to pick it up. So glad to have it back! I guess I just couldn't live without it lol.
