FOR SALE – 2004 MINI COOPER S R53 (SUPERCHARGED) – €5,950

A rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable modern classic MINIs – the R53 Cooper S, the last of the factory supercharged Cooper S models.

This is a genuine, well-maintained example in mint condition with just 86,000 miles from new. It has been regularly serviced, carefully looked after, and presents beautifully both inside and out.

Key Features:
• 1.6L Supercharged engine – 163bhp
• 6-speed Getrag manual gearbox
• Xenon headlights
• Half leather sports seats
• Air conditioning (needs a gas recharge as the car has been stored for the last 2 years)
• Old licence scheme – cheap annual road licence (€240)
• Genuine Cooper S

Recent Maintenance:
• LUK clutch and dual mass flywheel replaced in 2019
• New rocker cover gasket
• New sump gasket
• No oil leaks
• Regularly serviced and very well cared for

The car drives exactly as an R53 should – fast, responsive, nippy, and handling like a go-kart. The bodywork is in excellent condition, and the interior is exceptionally clean and well preserved.

As the last supercharged Cooper S before MINI moved to the turbocharged R56, this is becoming an increasingly sought-after enthusiast and collector’s car. Finding one in this condition with sensible mileage is getting harder.

Price: €5,950

Serious enquiries only. Viewing is highly recommended – the first genuine MINI enthusiast to see it will appreciate the condition.
