2004 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works R52

Highlights

  • Supplied with 12 months MOT
  • Includes private registration

The Appeal


Adding a Supercharger to the Mini basically revolutionised BMW's much-respected modernisation of the all-time legendary classic. The Mini Cooper S was every bit as agile as you'd expect from that legendary name, practically purpose-built for twisty roads and sharp acceleration while still being versatile and capable for a daily driver. A perfect choice for a modern classic - and one that's ageing beautifully, too.

This particular example is a pretty scarce find, boasting the official dealer-fitted John Cooper Works 210hp Tuning Kit, comprising of a machined cylinder head, supercharger with reduction pulley, injectors, air filter box, higher grade spark plugs, a cat-back sports exhaust upgrade and
a remap of the ECU. As a result, we're sure it'll pick up plenty of interest.

Kept with the current owner for a commendable 12 years, the car has been garage-stored throughout its ownership and is supplied with a fresh MOT.
