An exceptional and increasingly rare opportunity to own a genuine, single-owner 2006 R53 MINI Cooper S Checkmate Special Edition.
Purchased brand new and meticulously cared for over 20 years, this car has been enthusiast maintained, always garaged, and never involved in an accident. Reluctantly being offered for sale solely due to shoulder/health reasons making shifting gears in a manual difficult.
With under 116,000 original kilometers and a complete record of logbooks, service history, and receipts, this is one of the cleanest, highest-spec supercharged R53s available on the market today.
