SOLD!!!
It's been a good run, but it's time for the MINI to pass to a new owner. Certain events have transpired that require the sale of the MINI, so have a look, make an offer, and let's get her moved to her new home!
This particular car has received lots of praise and appreciation from all kinds of car clubs. It was one of the lowest MINIs in Southern California last summer, and is deffo the lowest in Colorado. Apparently, it was pictured in Performance VW recently, but I haven't been able to confirm that yet. It's a great car and I know the next owner will love it as much as I do.
The Basics...
- CA registration good through DEC 2011
- This MINI has been in my family since we bought it new off the lot in November of 2002. It has not been tracked or raced, and just received a major service at Ralph Schomp MINI in Denver, CO. I have most of the service records for the car, but not all of them.
- Contact (email is best):
- Willing to ship. Buyer pays shipping.
The Details...
- 2003 MINI Cooper R50
- 78,xxx miles
- Factory sunroof, Silk Green paint (only offered in 2003), white roof
- 5-speed manual transmission
- Mods:

Pictures: the only editing I did was some minor levels adjustment and the removal of some signs on the wall for the garage photos.
From last weekend @ Rotiform Sunday Funday (white R53 bumper not included in sale)

Cardboard signs say "For Sale" and "Leave a message on the bumper!"

- Issues:- Polyurethane bushings for front suspension
- Random other extras
- Sunroof is not currently working. It is closed, sealed, and disconnected, but something is wrong with it and it won't open past half-way. I can either have this repaired or you can make an offer reflecting the issue.
- FIXED SHORT SHIFTER - works perfectly: tight and well, short
- Emergency brake boot has a dime to nickel sized hole in it.
- Driver's seat has a 3" tear by the forward lean lever.
- Passenger door release cable is loose. It takes a bit of patience and playing to get the door to open from the inside, but the outside opens perfectly.
- Front speakers need replacing. Passenger side is blown, driver's is going out. I have replacement OEM speakers which can be installed prior to sale if desired.
- Exterior & interior condition:- FIXED SHORT SHIFTER - works perfectly: tight and well, short
- Emergency brake boot has a dime to nickel sized hole in it.
- Driver's seat has a 3" tear by the forward lean lever.

- Front speakers need replacing. Passenger side is blown, driver's is going out. I have replacement OEM speakers which can be installed prior to sale if desired.
- The exterior is in great shape for a 7 year old car. There are the usual small stone chips on the nose, as well as some slight discoloration on the inside of the door frame (not rust - just discoloring).
- The interior is also in good shape, except for the aforementioned issues (driver's seat and emergency brake boot). There are some small stains on the floor mats, along with a few on the center divide. They could probably be removed with a good detailing product. The paint has been rubbed off the center console side pillar on the driver's side from my knee rubbing against it during hard cornering.
- All these issues are minor, but I thought I'd mention them in the interest of full disclosure.

- I have most (but not all) service records, along with several receipts and such. I love this car dearly, and it always gets a lot of attention. She's been good to me, but it's time for someone else to love her and take it to the next level. New tires, fixed the short shifter, and she feels amazing to drive!
