History
Ordered to exacting specifications, the car was purchased by Mr A Watts on the 29th of June 2012.
The car has stayed in the possession of Mr Watt’s from new, and has always been garaged.
The condition of the car (particularly the underside condition) demonstrates garaged life, and only fair weather usage.
Two service stamps, both by the supplying dealer (Cooper Norwich) are within the service booklet, as below:
29/01/2015 – 5,018 miles
18/01/2017 – 6,024 miles
Of course all original booklets are present, and presented in the unmarked original wallet.
Two original brochures are also present within the history file, along with all relevant order forms, finance agreements etc.
The only non standard items on the vehicle, are the chrome trims which have been professionally vinyl’d with a Satin Black vinyl.
This gives the car a much more sporting and aggressive appearance, also Satin Black stripes with Red pinstripes have been professionally added.
These are all easily removed, but we are sure you will agree they look fantastic.
Body & Paintwork
As you would expect, with a car of such low mileage, the Paintwork is in good condition throughout.
No previous damage to the vehicle (we have known the car ourselves from new).
A couple of small stonechips to the front bumper, as would be expected of any vehicle, but these are certainly very minor.
All lights, glass, and badges are in good condition with no damage.
The professionally applied vinyl stripes and ‘de-chroming’ really sets this car apart, and gives it a great look.
Interior & Trim
Again, as per the rest of the car, the interior is simply immaculate.
The gorgeous upgrade Recaro seats look superb, and unworn!
The car is full of optional extra’s, including the Leather dashboard, Harman Kardon, extended interior lighting package… plus much more.
A very nice place to be, and a real feel of build quality.
Engine
What a cracking little engine….
A great performing little hot hatch, with 211bhp, and a top speed of 148mph, this is a Mini to be taken seriously.
Of course this car runs exactly as it should do, starting perfectly, and idling smoothly.
The car drives well, and pulls smoothly through the rev range, with no hesitations.
The JCW exhaust makes a fantastic noise, with the odd little crackle and pop when being driven, this is a car that is full of character.
Running Gear
As mentioned, the underside of this car is in great condition thanks to its garaged life, and fair weather use.
All wheels are unmarked, the tyres are less than half worn, and the suspension & brakes all look as new.
A great fun car to drive, with superb handling, thanks largely to the Electronic Diff, and also the 4 pot Brembo front brakes which perform brilliantly.
