PAC-MAN the R53 is up for sale !
This Mini has been featured in Performance Mini magazine a while back and really is an absolute blast to drive.It has only had 3 owners from new. The first being BMW Mini themselves
then a lady owner for 15 years + 1 other.The clock is showing 103k miles but that is pretty much irrelevant as you will read below - just about everything has been upgraded in the last 2 years.The car comes with both the original keys + a third "valet" key (didn't even know there was such a thing).It has an extensive service history with a stack of paperwork.It is MOT'd to end of November 2024. The only advisory has been sorted (number plate bulb).
I bought it with intention of just enjoying whilst my other car is away for winter hibernation
but a change of plan means that it rarely gets used and is surplus to requirements : so it's time to let it go to a new home for someone else to enjoy.The mods list and spec for this Mini are extensive : I will try and list everything I can remember ......... here goes :-
Engine out and rebuilt 2 years ago
around 10k miles since. BC Racing CoiloversBrembo 4 pot Calliper brake upgrade with HEL braided lines all-roundLimited Slip DifferentialJR21 Alloys with near new tyres all round : 17x8.25JGTT Strut brace and control armsPolyflex Bushed all-round Kavs 17% reduced s/c pulley / +2% crank pulleyK&N Air intakeNewman Cam440cc InjectorsAirtec IntercoolerAirtec Expansion TankAll new silicone hosesSprint BoosterFull Scorpion exhaust systemRemapped by 1320 Mini : Made 230bhp (203whp)
Interior / Exterior spec / styling mods are as below :-JCW Leather Recaro's (for the win : so comfy)JCW carbon fibre gear knob and handbrakeLufi XF Revolution GaugeManual over-ride switch for low speed cooling fanOrranje G-Wing with Carbon Fibre bladeJCW Aero kit all roundLeap rear aero inserts (very rare)Atomspeed bonnet scoopFully dechromedSmoked LED rear lightsJoey modded headlightsChrono-pack dials (twin dials at steering wheel)Pioneer stereo with BT streaming
CD and handsfree + separate DAB moduleRear Seat Delete - Alcantara (still have the seats and parcel shelf available)Panoramic Roof (fully functioning)Limo tinted windows to rears and front sunstripBrand new top quality floor matsPacman features - all easily removable Very small patch of paintwork on the boot lid could do with attention if you are looking for totally clean. It doesn't show up on photo. I haven't bothered to do it as it is barely noticeable and to me
this car is more about the "GO" than the "SHOW"
Set of Maxton side skirts : these will be provided with the car for new owner to fit. Brand new and still in the box.
Being Yellow - it certainly gets a lot of attention and is probably not fair the Shy-Type !!Its noisy - it's raw - it's fast - and it handles like it's on rails with the combo of suspension / wheels / LSD etc : As stated at the start
it is an absolute blast to drive and will have you giggling all the way.There is nothing that doesn't work on this car. Anything that has ever needed doing has been done. No un-wanted noises
no oil leaks
no heating issues
no warning lights - everything works exactly as it should and better with the mods that have been done : just get in
turn the key
smile and drive !!! Located near Wellingborough
Northamptonshire. Happy for any viewings and test drives (me driving).Not sure what else to say - any questions
just drop me a line. Buyer to pay 10% up front to take advert off with the balance due in full before driving away.
