Description
A fine example of a future classic. Really good fun to drive, well looked after by me and the previous owner - no expense spared when needed.
Beautiful deep blue colour, recently valeted and protected. Interior is half-leather also in great condition.
This is the R56 Cooper S - really engaging to drive. Comes with cruise control, DAB/ CD with USB (factory), bluetooth phone connection, 17" alloys.
Recently had infamous thermostat housing changed. Full service history and all paperwork, last serviced in December 2024, wheels in great condition with Pilot Sports on all corners with 4-5mm tread.
Evolution remap at 40, 000 miles gives just a touch more spark and makes it that smile even bigger when driving on decent B-roads.
I had a new battery installed when I bought it, and while I've had it I have had oil leak fixed, AC leak fixed and regassed, belt tensioner and belt replaced.
More pictures to follow. I bought a R56 because of the reviews about how this is one the best Minis for the driving experience - and they were right.
The drive is really engaging, the turbo pulls just enough to be fun but not silly and the steering is instant and direct. It even has a subtle but aggressive exhaust tone - even pops a bit when in sports mode.
