Cooper is re-designed by referring the official set. Plug in more elements such as doors, seats and removable back windows.
Disclosure label on the R56 Mini Cooper. Interesting that the country of origin for the engine is listed as Japan. Reports had said the R56 engine, designed through a partnership by Mini, Peugeot and Citroen, was assembled in England.
I used to drive 50 miles a day. Thanks to COVID this is how much I’ve driven since I got this car a year ago.
This is the first brand new car I ever owned. Built to my specification, and totally unique. She's an October 06 MINI Cooper, one of the last first generation cars to be built.
From new she was fitted with a JCW Aero Kit, a JCW Struct brace, and a JCW Sound Kit.
Later she got JCW seats, Eibach Springs, A John Cooper Motorsport cone filter, clear bulbs all round, ipod integration, new alloys, Whalen shifter, and plenty of other stuff. More pics can be seen in my other Pepper White MINI sets.
A veteran of the MINI run, and show scene this was the first car I have ever owned that was exactly as I wanted her to be. This car took part in the 2007 Italian Job, the 2007 & 2008 Lakeland Tours, dozens of other events, and amongst other things was a world record holder*. On her travels she won; "Best Presented New MINI - Lakeland Tour 2007", featured in Modern MINI Magazines "Owners Cars" section twice, winning once, and collected the award for "Best Cooper 2008" in the same publication.
We parted company last week, and it was hard.
Originally registered as PK56 FWF, hopefully she has gone to someone that cares about her as much as I did.
It's Cooper S time finally.
* Most MINIs in a convoy held at Derek Woodman MINI in 2007. See my other set.
Mini's first trip on curvy roads....as you can tell by here decoration (a.k.a. dirt) she was lovin' it.
