Hi all.

For sale, is my nimble & nippy: White (with gloss black roof etc) 2007 / 07 plated, R56, Mini Cooper S, with JCW aero pack,
84,070 miles,
HPI clear.

Fresh Ad' just placed on PH. Price reduced also :thumbsup:
OE Front & Rear leather & cloth seats, now re-fitted.

Here is a link to the new PH Ad':
https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds ... ed/8290545
The ask on PH is £5,699. For Forum members, I'd look at offers around the £5,500 region

All the info is available on there, including numerous images.
More images can be supplied direct to you, upon request if required?


If you are seriously interested in my modded Mini Cooper S, please kindly contact me direct on here (via PM etc) or via the PH Ad'?


The car is located, just outside Lichfield, South Staff's. Lichfield Trent Valley Railway Stn, is a 5 min walk from the cars location.
I've had the car circa 18 months and spent a lot & fettled her, to what she is today.
The only reason she is for sale, is that I have now brought an F56 Cooper S, to upgrade this little gem of a car & someone else can enjoy this Mini as their daily or weekend toy..

Cheers, Paul..

Nice one! Good luck with the sale. Just wondering how many miles have you done in it and has it been reliable? I need a decent fun daily after my zed and I'm very tempted by a cooper s.

The dyno run, prior to the map, was circa 190bhp.. :thumbsup:

Post, the map - she was up a healthy amount, compared to stock - up to the level of 248bhp. :oops:
There a was scope for more - but trust me, this is enough - combined with the extra torque on tap too :)

Prior to the map: She had a hefty sized 'forge' intercooler fitted also.
Without that, I doubt you'd get the figures that this car achieves :D

Cheers, Paul..

Fitting of the numerous 'Forge' components; de-cat; suspension Geo set-up; and re-map, was completed by 'Performance Torque', just outside Wolverhampton..
I cannot commend them, enough..
They are magicians, at extracting a lot more out of a standard car..

As I said prior: there's more to extract, but in all honesty - I doubt there'd be much to gain further, apart from potential hefty repair bills..

If you'd like further details, please PM me?

Cheers, P..

From memory: I think it may of been a Blue S1 Elise, with white stripes maybe - I'll have to dig out an image!
A Molehill it may of been, or keen driving perhaps?!
The front clam was a mess, but the owner gaffer taped it up and went back out :o
