Purchased new at Mini North Scottsdale and fitted with the John Cooper Works tuning kit before it ever left the dealership. It was kept by the original owner in climate-controlled garages part of the time in Scottsdale, AZ and other times in Tustin, CA where they spent their summers. In the interest of preservation, the nose was fitted with a protective bra, the seats were covered with sheep-skin seat covers, the windows were blacked out with window tint, and the body was wrapped with two car covers (one soft, one padded). After twenty years of this treatment, the owner finally decided to sell it (August 2024) to the present owner with just 14,162 original miles.

The second owner drove the car from the house in Tustin directly to the premier Orange County Mini specialist, British Worx OC, for a full inspection and major service. With fresh fluids, filters, spark plugs w/new wires, and additional freon on board, the next stop was Pep Boys for four new Michelin Pilot Sport tires (Adios Run-Flats). During his ownership, the same careful indoor storage was maintained along with light road use. After a year of ownership, it was time for another oil service and inspection. This time, the Mini was taken to Crevier Mini (factory dealership) where the technicians found no faults or leaks to speak of. This is an incredibly well-optioned and well-preserved R53 Mini Cooper S with the ultra-desirable John Cooper Works tuning kit. I personally think it is the most fun a driving enthusiast can have in this price bracket.
