For sale is my pristine 2006 MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works with optional Aero kit and English Panther Leather interior.

The car has been meticulously maintained. Body and paint are in excellent condition, with no prior accidents.  My wife was hit by some debris on the freeway, which dented the hood and front air dam.  Both were replaced under insurance claim, and I had the shop clean up all dents and door dings, and spray the doors and 1/4 panels.   Paint is OE quality, bonnet stripes are matte black and painted on.  Looks impeccable, this car turns heads everywhere it goes.

It has 6-speed manual transmission and the following Factory Option Packages:

Premium Package:Automatic Air-conditioning, Panoramic Sunroof, Steering Wheel Cruise & Radio Controls, On-board Computer.

Sports Package: Dynamic Stability Control, Sports Suspension, 17-inch Alloy Wheels, Front Fog Lamps, Xenon High-intensity Headlamps, Power Headlamp Washers

John Cooper Works Package: Specially designed eaton supercharger, head, exhaust system, Limited Slip front differential, JCW Brake kit

Additional factory options include:


Heated front seats
Harman-Kardon premium sound system
4-piece all-weather rubber floor mats
medium-dark all-around window tint.
JCW aero kit

Owner installed goodies:

19mm HK rear anti-sway bar (adjustable)
Linear rate competition springs by Texas Speed Works
Polyurethane control arm bushings
SPC billet rear lower control arms for proper alignment
Polyurethane upper engine mount eliminates engine flop in transition
M7 front strut tower brace
Nanotech tint on panoramic roof, as dark as it comes
Stainless resonator delete.  Factory resonator comes with car.  Easy bolt up if you want it.
Extra chassis bracing in engine bay used to stiffen convertible MINIs.  Every bit helps.

Recent Service Includes:

Lower engine mount replaced with new factory mount
Power steering hoses (all three)
Bushings replaced with polyurethane
Oil pan gaskets
Water pump
Serpentine belt
Alignment
Major service and inspection performed by Kensington Motor Car of Las Vegas

All fluids and filters replaced, spark plugs, all systems checked and adjusted.  No mechanical problems found, you are welcome to contact them to verify.  They have a MINI technician that used to work at the dealership where I bought it.  Mark has performed the bulk of the service.

I have seen several MINIs from 2006 with less miles for sale here on eBay.   I realize mileage is always a consideration, but keep in mind that a car with 50k miles will soon need many of the repairs listed above.  The gaskets hoses, water pump and control arm bushings are fairly universal repair items for the 2002-2006 MINIs.   Although my car has higher mileage, these repairs have been completed, saving you money.

I've spent $5000 in the last year or so completing these repairs, so figure you're saving about that much over a lower mileage MINI.

Tires are Continental extreme contact DWS in 215/45, with more than 80% tread life, mounted on brand-new 17" Konig feather ultra-light performance wheels in powder black.

Also available are the factory JCW 18" alloy wheels, but they need refinishing.  All four have curb rash and need tires.  I'm willing to sell the car with only the JCW rims, keep the Konigs and contis, and discount $900 from final auction price.

As you can see from the photos, the drivers rocker panel was damaged when I installed the springs.  I was quoted $250 to resurface and paint it.  There is also a scratch near the drivers door, caused by the clip of my stupid pocket knife.  The factory appliqu'e on the rear spoiler is peeling a bit, and I was quoted $150 to remove it and spray with matte black to match the bonnet stripes.

Please keep in mind the car will need ~$500 of body and paint work to look perfect.

Interior is excellent, but there is some minor wear in the drivers seat caused by that same stupid knife clip.  Barely noticeable, but I'm giving you all the details in the interest of full disclosure.  We don't smoke and this car has never had a cigarette inside her.

I love this car to death, but we want a new GP MINI.  So we need to sell her to buy that.  Anyone looking for a head-turner that has the creature comforts of a daily-driver but is auto cross and track ready, has found it all in this incredibly fun-to-drive little package.

The car is best experienced in person, and I will be happy to arrange a showing.

2020 Mini Clubman makes many mini changes

Thu, Apr 18 2019

The mid-cycle refresh for the 2020 Mini Clubman brings small-scale cosmetic alterations from front to back. The new grille dominates the front end. It's no larger than before, but by getting rid of the black bumper shape for six horizontal bars optionally dressed in chrome, the opening looks bigger. Clubman S models still fit hexagonal mesh into the opening, smaller hexagons on the new model set off by the single chrome accent of the previous model. New standard halogen headlights house larger reflectors and a black shield, the fog lights in the lower bumper illuminating as DRLs. The first set of optional LED headlights are arranged in a new design and employ LEDs for high and low beams. On these, an LED ring lights up to act as the primary DRL and the turn signal. A more feature-filled LED option includes adaptive headlights that can turn and adjust their brightness and throw automatically, and auto high-beam dipping. If we get that latter option in the U.S., it won't be with full functionality. The new rear LED taillights come standard and illuminate in a Union Jack pattern. Three new colors join the palette: Indian Summer Red metallic, British Racing Green metallic, and Mini Yours Enigmatic Black metallic. Optional Piano Black exterior trim replaces chrome with the glossy black stuff, and an optional sport suspension lowers the ride height by 10 millimeters. Extra wheel choices come in 18-inch Multiray Spoke two-tone and MINI Yours British Spoke two-tone flavors, along with 19-inch John Cooper Works Circuit Spoke two-tone rims. The Mini Yours program collects a suite of new personalization possibilities such as a sports steering wheel and a Leather Lounge Carbon Black interior leather treatment with a perforated Union Jack pattern on the seat headrests. Mini Yours ambient lighting treatments highlight the door bezels, cockpit bezel, cockpit and center console trim in hues to match three themes: Piano Black illuminated, Frozen Blue illuminated, and Fibre Alloy illuminated. A Union Jack emblem on the side windows marks the choice. A Leather Chester interior in Malt Brown, Indigo Blue, or Satellite Grey provides a different kind of flair. The infotainment gains a permanent 4G-LTE SIM card for always-on connectivity and over-the-air updates. After debuting at Auto Shanghai, we await pricing before the model goes on sale later this year.

Mini lineup could expand to include up to 10 models, still no hope for Rocketman

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

During an event in Ponce, Puerto Rico last week where Mini introduced members of the media to the 2013 Paceman and John Cooper Works GP, product planners discussed that the brand's lineup could expand to eventually include up to 10 bodystyles. Currently, the Mini range consists of seven models: the Hardtop, Clubman, Convertible, Countryman, Coupe, Roadster and Paceman.
Speaking to members of the media, David Duncan, Mini USA sales manager, said that these new models could fall into a range of niches - "any segment that makes sense for a small car." No specific vehicle classes were discussed, but Duncan stated that the possibilities are endless, "as long as we're the smallest player in any segment."
Well, nearly endless. We've been hoping that Mini would re-think its decision to nix plans to create a vehicle smaller than the Hardtop - a notion previewed by the excellent Rocketman concept (shown above) from the 2011 Geneva Motor Show - but the automaker once again stated that this is absolutely off the table. In order to create a vehicle of the Rocketman's size, a completely new platform would have to be engineered (that's expensive), and while Mini has looked into acquiring existing architecture from another brand, parent company BMW has reportedly put the kibosh on such an act. If a Rocketman is ever to be born, BMW/Mini will do it on its own, and right now, that simply isn't in the cards.

2022 Mini Hardtop Brick Lane Edition is inspired by London's East End

Fri, Feb 18 2022

Mini announced three special-edition models in February 2022, and it's not stopping there. It unveiled a fourth car called Brick Lane Edition that draws inspiration from London's East End to give the two- and four-door variants of the Hardtop Cooper S more flair. Visually, the Brick Lane Edition stands out from the standard Hardtop with White Silver Metallic exterior paint, a Soul Blue roof panel, black door mirror caps, and chrome trim. Soul Blue, Frozen Blue, and Mint graphics on the hood add a finishing touch to the look while creating a link between the car and the bricks that Brick Lane gets its name from. Mini also added 17-inch wheels painted black, decals above the rocker panels and edition-specific badges on both sides. These changes are relatively minor, but they give the Mini a cool look. Leather-upholstered and heated front sport seats are among the highlights in the cabin. The long list of standard features also includes a panoramic moonroof, piano black interior trim, a dual-zone automatic climate control system, and a Harman-Kardon surround-sound system. You won't find bricks or blue accents in the engine bay. Power comes from a stock, Cooper S-sourced 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that's turbocharged to develop 189 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. It spins the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, but a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic linked to a pair of shift paddles is available at no extra cost. Mini dealers across the nation will begin receiving the Hardtop Brick Lane Edition in March 2022. Pricing starts at $36,525 for the two-door model and $37,525 for the four-door, figures that include a surprisingly reasonable $850 destination charge. This isn't the first time that a British brand unveils a special-edition model inspired by London's East End. In late 2021, Triumph channeled the "the vibrant, custom-classic motorcycle culture of London's East End" into the head-turning Street Twin EC1 Special Edition.
