HIGHLIGHTS: Believed to be one of the first Minis to enter the US
market after Mini's 2002 return! Originally ordered and owned by
Chip Miller, co-founder of Carlisle Events. Just under 39,000 miles
- incredibly low mileage for a 2002 model. Iconic Electric Blue
paint, with blue interior! 1.6L 4-cylinder engine paired with a
6-speed manual transmission - handles like a go-kart and delivers
pure driving joy. Immaculate condition, from the paint to the
interior to the underside! HIGHLY documented from new! BODY
OVERVIEW: This 2002 Mini Cooper S represents the beginning of
Mini's rebirth in the US, and boy, does it look good for its age!
With just under 39,000 miles, this car has been sparingly driven
and treated with kid gloves. The body is straight, the lines are
crisp, and there are no signs of significant wear or tear.
Imperfections are nearly zero! This car screams well-preserved
collector's piece with a story to tell. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The Electric Blue paint is dazzling-seriously, you'd be
hard-pressed to find any defects. In fact, this car is so clean
that it is hard to believe the mileage is as high as it is! It's
almost like this Mini is sitting on the dealer lot in 2002. The
only noteworthy flaw is a tiny rock chip (emphasis on tiny) that
you'll likely have to search for, shown in the photos. Otherwise,
the paint presents like-new, just as you'd expect from a car of
this mileage and ownership history. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Step inside, and you're greeted by an immaculate blue/black
two-tone interior that looks barely touched. From the seats to the
dash, the cabin is just as pristine as the exterior. It shows
minimal signs of wear, and for a car that's over 20 years old,
that's no small feat. You can tell this Mini was cherished-no
coffee spills, no sun fading, just clean and cared-for comfort.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood lies the peppy 1.6L 4-cylinder,
paired with a 6-speed manual transmission for the ultimate
go-kart-like driving experience. This car was made for people who
love to drive! Mechanically, it's as clean as the rest of the
car-turn-key ready with no surprises. It runs as beautifully as it
looks and is bound to put a smile on your face every time you take
it out! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you're a Mini
enthusiast, you'll love that this is one of the first Minis back
into the States after their US hiatus-a piece of modern automotive
history. Plus, with its Chip Miller provenance, low miles, and
stunning Electric Blue finish, this car has been extraordinarily
well-preserved and feels like a time capsule. All of that aside,
the documentation is another HUGE selling point on this car! It has
documentation back to brand new, including the original paper
temporary tag from when it left the dealership! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE
ABOUT THIS CAR: If you're someone who likes a "lived-in" car with
more battle scars than beauty marks, you won't find much
character-building wear here. No matter what your pick is for fun
cars, this Mini doesn't disappoint and is truly hard to hate! DOES
IT NEED ANYTHING? Nothing but a new driver to enjoy it! This puppy
is turn-key! WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This Mini Cooper S
is ideal for a collector who loves historically significant cars
with low mileage, Mini enthusiasts who want a pristine example of
the brand's return to the US, or anyone seeking a car with a
fun-to-drive, go-kart-like experience wrapped in a clean, stylish
package. If you appreciate pedigree, rarity, and immaculate
preservation, this Mini Cooper S is calling your name! Ready to zip
