This was the last year that BMW Mini Models were actually fitted with a BMW manufactured Engine and Gearbox and 2008 was the last year the Cooper S was Supercharged. So it separates this model from those of later years putting them into a more unique category. The Sidewalk was limited edition released in 2004 to 2008 thus more likely to be very collectable over the post 2008 Cooper S models with the later what turned out to be a troublesome turbocharged Peugeot/Citroen engine and gearbox.

                History 

So this in mind I invested in overhaul when I took possession of the car and last year a full car body and under car certified professional rustproofing  treatment. So the car will have a long life to come. It is in very good condition throughout and a joy to drive. I bought it as a second fun car in March 2021 but due to circumstances have not used it as much as I would have liked. It produces a punchy 168 bhp and good torque from the very well built..and.reliable Supercharger..which makes it easy to drive at all speeds. The soft top has a sun roof option or fully retracted and works perfectly. 

10 months MOT March 2024 with no minors and very little milage since. 

I have a full maintenance logbook history and can present all the invoices for past work to keep it in excellent physical and mechanical order. You can be confident the engine is well maintained and I have had supercharger serviced a new clutch assy and thrust bearing, timing chain and tensioner replaced, a new water pump, new alternator, air con rad replaced and pump overhauled, new engine mounts . I have had it serviced at a Mini expert on The Wirral who did this work for me. 

The heated tan hide leather seats and the general interior are all in excellent condition.

The head lights have been upgraded and it has a twin box stainless steel exhaust with a nice sporty sound.

The previous owner kept it well maintained and before a private sale to me had all the disks and pads replaced and new Pirelli tyres and a new battery. I have done less than 6000 miles since I took ownership in March 2021 so these will not an overhead for a good mileage yet.

Some good features, cruise control, heated remote adjustable mirrors, heated seats, fold flat split rear seats for extra luggage space, traction control on / off selection, reverse parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring, CD/FM with an Aux Input for your phone or tablet, low down front fog lights, air conditioning recently charged, electric windows both front and rear
