BMW main dealer service history with extensive accompanying paperwork

Private registration plate included in the sale
The Appeal
The R53-generation Mini John Cooper Works remains one of the most celebrated hot hatches of the mid-2000s. Taking the tight-chassis, low-to-the-asphalt dynamics of the classic Mini, the R53's supercharged 1.6-litre engine still feels eager and charismatic - and with that classic styling all present and correct, it's a perfectly well-rounded machine that continues to attract a devoted following.
This 2005 JCW is fitted with a genuine aero kit and HSD coilovers. The vendor states the car is in very good overall condition, with only a few very small marks as one might expect of a car of this age, while the leather interior is reported to be free from rips or tears. We're informed it starts and drives as a JCW should - responsively and with plenty of character. image.png1.48 MB

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidders responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
