2013 Mini Cooper S Inspired By Goodwood

HIGHLIGHTS

 

  • Desirable Inspired By Goodwood model
  • One previous keeper
  • Coming from a ten-year ownership 

THE APPEAL

When it comes to making ultra-premium limited edition Minis using the finest materials available, there have been other Minis produced in the past by companies such as Radford and Wood & Pickett in the 60s and 70s, but nothing in recent years quite so special as the Inspired By Goodwood model. 
The Mini Inspired By Goodwood results from a close collaboration between Mini and Rolls-Royce to create a limited-run, special edition of 1000 units, using the finest materials and Rolls-Royce’s flawless workmanship to create one of the most luxurious Minis available.
The Inspired By Goodwood has plenty of unique touches to push it to the top of luxury, with features such as the Rolls-Royce Diamond Black metallic paint and freshly designed wheels. The inside is where it stands out from the rest, with high-quality Black and Cornsilk Nappa leather, Cashmere headlining and walnut Burr exclusive to Rolls-Royce; even the instrument font matches that of a Rolls.

THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK 

  • V5C is present 
  • Just one previous keeper
  • Registered 25th May 2013
  • Original owner’s handbook
  • The vendor reports there are several invoices for servicing work carried out 
  • MOT is valid until 21st April 2024 

THE INTERIOR

  • Finished in the exclusive Rolls-Royce colour of Cornsilk
  • The leather seats have a small amount of wear in keeping with the age and mileage and would benefit from a deep clean 
  • There are a few marks on the rear seat, and again, this would benefit from a clean 
  • Both door cards are in good condition with no noticeable makes to point out
  • Finished in luxury black and Cornsilk leather with a Walnut Burr inlay exclusive to Rolls-Royce, the dashboard is in excellent condition
  • The instruments work correctly and have no warning lights displayed when the car is running. Finished with “Inspired By Goodwood” at the bottom and in the same font used in Rolls-Royce
  • The odometer shows a reading of 78,034 miles
  • The switchgear has a piano black finish to the buttons and surround, and all are in good condition
  • Harman/Lardon speaker system
  • The steering wheel is in good condition with just a small amount of shining to the rim
  • Cashmere headlining is in excellent condition
  • The carpets are beige, and there are a few minor marks which could probably be cleaned off
  • A complete set of mats are fitted and are in good condition
  • Inside the boot, the Cornsilk leather floor does have some marks on it
  • The jack, wheel brace and towing eye are present

THE EXTERIOR

  • Finished in the exclusive Rolls-Royce colour of Diamond Black Metallic
  • The paintwork is presented quite well. There are a few small stone chips, a couple of minor scuffs and some light swirl marks in keeping with the Mini’s age and mileage
  • The shut lines are matching and equal, and no dings or dents were spotted
  • The windows appear to be free from any noticeable scratches. There is a small chip in the windscreen
  • Window trims and seals look to be in good condition
  • Xenon Adaptive Headlights are free from any damage and have a bright, clear finish 
  • The fog lights and rear lights are also damage-free 
  • Rear parking sensors fitted 
  • The Inspired By Goodwood wing badges and chrome trim around the body are in excellent condition
  • 17” multispoke alloy wheels unique to this model. All four wheels have some kerb marks and signs of water ingress to the centre caps. With that said, any reputable wheel refurbisher would easily be able to refresh these
  • The tyres have a good amount of tread remaining

THE MECHANICS

  • 1.6 litre engine with twin-scroll turbocharger
  • 181hp and 177lb of torque 
  • Six-speed automatic gearbox 
  • The Mini fires up without hesitation and has no issues reported by the vendor
  • The car pulls well through the gears, and the change through the automatic gearbox is smooth
  • The car drives as you would expect, and there are no knocks or bangs reported to be coming from the suspension
  • The brakes bring the Mini to a stop in a straight line with no juddering through the pedal

SUMMARY
