They only made 37 of these and this is number 18/37. I have only had it for 3 summers and love it, but no longer have a place to store in the winter. It was in an accident before my time but was repaired and I have the car fax from that time. 151611 kms.

My latest engine rebuild arrived, a 2008 JCW car, in red and black. It's not running; a suspected burst piston, the common number 3 or number 4 pistons, let go.

Hi everyone! 👋 My name is José and I’m writing from Vila-real, Spain. I’m the proud owner of a Silver MINI Cooper R50 , which I’ve called “Silver Banshee” for many years.

I will also be doing some research on my wheel style with the intent of purchasing a spare tire to keep at home.
