🚗 Mini Cooper 2005 R50 – Pocket Rocket Alert! 🚗

1.6L Petrol • Automatic with Paddle Shifters • Go-Kart Handling Looking for a fun little project or a zippy runaround with some real character? Meet this 2005 Mini Cooper R50 – lovingly nicknamed the Pocket Rocket. It's been a loyal companion for the past 7 years and never gave me a moment’s trouble... until recently (read on!). ✅ The Good Stuff: 1.6L petrol engine with automatic transmission (yes, with flappy paddles on the steering wheel!) Meticulously maintained – drives like a dream New battery installed Fresh exhaust system Run-flat tires with 70% life left Prepped for NCT: new brake discs + pads, front wheel bearing, ATF oil change, and leak fixed (receipts available!) Holds corners like it’s on rails – true go-kart vibes! ❌ The Not-So-Great: No NCT or tax at the moment Power steering pump gave up right after all the prep work (typical!) I tried a used pump from a breaker, but lost steam and moved on to a newer car 💡 Perfect for: Someone handy who can swap a power steering pump and get this beauty back on the road A weekend project or base for a unique build Anyone who appreciates a car with style, soul, and a bit of spunk! 🛠️ Selling as a complete car only – no time to part it out 💰 €1000 or best reasonable offer 📅 I’ll keep this listed for 2–3 weeks. If no takers by then, she’s off to the scrapyard (💔) Give this Mini the second chance it deserves! 🚀
