AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Nice and well-running Mini Cooper S, built in 2005, original 1.6 liter 16V engine with a supercharger (hence Cooper S), 170 hp and paired with a manual six-speed gearbox.
The R53 generation of the Mini Cooper S is one of the most reliable Minis from the BMW era, a 1.6 Chrysler block paired with a supercharger, a guarantee of reliability and consistent performance. The 2004-2007 generation benefited from very useful developments, a new Getrag gearbox with improved gear spacing/shifting, a more reliable steering rack (addition of a steering fan), and the addition of the glove compartment. Start, run, shift and brake well, as new.
EXTERIOR:
This Cabriolet Cooper S has a beautiful, original dark gray metallic color, which Mini aptly simply calls “Dark Silver.” In terms of rust, this car is very tidy, with the specific spot on the rear hatch. Around both taillights the car is in very good condition, although these are spots where Minis typically show rust. Minor signs of use are present, see photos. The underside is just as neat, really a tidy car. See the photos.
TECHNIK:
In recent years these items have been renewed, among others: exhaust, the Xenon ignition unit, the wheel bearings for front and rear, and the front struts/shock absorber suspension. Since there is no recent invoice for oil changes and filters, a maintenance service is recommended.
INTERIEUR:
What obviously stands out is the unusual sticker on the dashboard. Easily removable if not desired, but in its own way it suits this sporty Mini. The car features a fully leather interior, a leather sport steering wheel original to Mini, air conditioning, electric windows and a Pioneer radio. The interior, like the exterior, is very neat. The power roof is also in good condition and works well, as do all windows; the nice original alloy wheels complete this attractive appearance, see photo.
DOCUMENTS:
The car has a deregistered German registration and with the papers and the invoice provided by the seller a (foreign) buyer can easily register the Mini. The German TÜV was valid until March 2027.
TRANSPORT:
The car is located in Hengevelde, Netherlands and can of course be picked up here. The car can be delivered within the Netherlands for an additional charge (excluding the Wadden Islands).
The seller can have the car shipped relatively cheaply anywhere in the EU by a professional transporter.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
