Will need at least 1 tyre in early New Year

No back window wiper

Back window tint film has been removed, but there is still residual film to be removed

Driver’s door check strap needs replacing

Driver’s side seat bolster worn

Interior is scruffy, but in overall good condition for age

Air Con recharged, but unsure as to whether the system is fully functional – may need checked.

 

It's not a bad example really and goes extremely well but isn't perfect. Car is in Central Scotland within easy reach of civilisation and we'd like £1200.

Will add pictures in a bit.

Mrs Shitpeas's's would go weak at the knees for this. She would then sob into her Yorkshire puddings because she can't afford it.

 

Pics would be a great way to make her more miserable.

[djoptix]

Phwoar. Always wanted one of these...

[Ghosty]

Bargain, I quite like these (mum has one). One of the few moderns I'd consider.

[aldo135]

Is she getting an 850 soon?

[rml2345]

Is she getting an 850 soon?

Possibly*

Apparently it's not to leave ever. That and the Mini is a bit impractical so a big Volvo is an ideal replacement.

[aldo135]

Good stuff, I really liked that car. As you said before they feel much more modern but are "still a Volvo". it's started appearing in my "Facebook memories", it was brilliant this time last year in the snow!

 

Sorry for changing the subject...

 

Mini for sale!

[Pillock]

It's had a lot of work done next year!

[rml2345]

It's had a lot of work done next year!

Oops, I shall fix that!

[davehedgehog31]

These make a cracking noise!

[inconsistant]

Like a whip?

[Pillock]

Hopefully not like a Nissan Navara.

[gm]

a supercharger makes the engine more efficient, right ? so better mpg's ? I'm clutching at straws here

 

I'd love to have a go on one of these round knockhill, the race series used to be in n/a coopers which I could pretty much keep up with in the mx5 on trackdays, now they're onto cooper S's and they leave me for dust on the straights  

 

what a relief there won't be any opportunities for excessive alcohol consumption over the next few days, I might do something silly

 

(pics please)

[rml2345]

Couple of pics from the last few months for now. Will try to get some more recent ones in the next couple of days.

 

 

 

[paulplom]

That looks far better than you described. For some reason I was expecting it to be hanging. Glws.

[Parky]

That looks well weapon. Might hit my cousin up later as he likes a Mini that needs a little TLC

[cort16]

That really is a great price for a Cooper-S. I've always liked these but money, space, temporal time loop in the back garden. All the usual excuse really.

[gm]

yep, same here - looks like a good 'un but as I'm currently selling my house with garage and two car drive and moving to.....bugger, I'd better sort something out soon or I'll be back living a my parents house. not the time for buying a new toy anyway

[overrun]

In the right colour, too. Looks tidy.

[rml2345]

The pictures flatter it a bit, it's scruffier up close but it's not a hopeless minger and doesn't appear to have been seriously shunted either which seems to be a rarity on these.

[Pillock]

OOOOF. That's so purdy.

 

Sadly at that price it won't be still around in a few weeks time when I might need a car.

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

If I hadn't just transferred for the 330 - I would be on this like dog hair on a sofa...……… Always wanted one - at least for temp ownership to tick it off the list. I've only ever been a passenger. This should be snapped up. If not - next payday I'm bankrupting myself!

 

Edit - in a week! aaarrgghhhhhhh

[hairnet]

nutter

 

ps adrian - nutter

[rml2345]

This is still here. Got some more recent pictures of it for those who are still drooling over a tiny Supercharged go-kart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's not perfect but it's not hinging either.

[Vince70]

I hope you don’t mind but I just saw someone was looking for a cheap R53 on Pistonheads heads and I linked your motor as it looks a bargain for someone.

[drum]

I looked these up and it said power can be 160 to 210bhp depending on the model.

Which one is this?

 

Looks like good fun no matter which.

[SiC]

Higher power is the John Cooper Works edition. Badge slapped on the back as an option but not always. Basically the increase in power is due to a pulley change on the supercharger. Hence many did it even if not originally a JCW out of the factory.

[Kiltox]

If I wasn’t already on my way to Central Scotland to buy a car I’d be seriously tempted by this

[Aston Martin]

Isn't it simple to bang a bigger pulley on the supercharger?

[Fat_Pirate]

This one will be 163 BHP, then went to 170 a bit later.  JCW runs larger injectors and intercooler, I've considered it but can't be arsed.
