Nice and clean Yellow Mini Cooper S R53

The Mini Cooper S was reborn in 2002 two years after the classic Mini production ends. This yellow Mini Cooper S R53 was spotted in the UK and it was built in between 2004 and 2006. First look – the car is so clean and in an immaculate condition. Second look – the yellow is definitely an attention-grabbing color. Third look – feel like to go for a ride? Love is in the air.

R53 Cooper S is powered by a 1.6-liter engine that produces 168 hp and 210 Nm of torque. Mated with a six-speed manual transmission, the engine is highly fuel efficient with an estimated fuel economy of 25/28/30 mpg. The car sits five adult comfortably and it travels in style. Inside, it features black leather seat, panoramic sunroof, and six front airbags as standard safety features. This yellow Mini Cooper S looks cute when it stand still but it accelerates fearlessly from 0 to 62 mph in 7.4 seconds and has a top speed of 135 mph.

The owner of this yellow Cooper S is currently selling the car. For those who successful purchase it, we (Malaysiaminilover) guarantee the new owner will not feel disappointed. The rest of the story let the seven pictures tell the entire story. Sometimes pictures tell a thousand words.

Hot and Spicy Chili Red Mini Cooper

This is a 1995 Mini Cooper. The car was recently repainted in chili red, the color of the hottest heat. Now it’s even dazzling with chrome wiper, body-colour matched wide wheel arches, 13-inch Sportspack wheels, two strong and bright front spotlights, and the iconic white bonnet stripes. Well, look at the photos again and it could be nicer with chrome washer set as well as windscreen chrome fillet. The design of this car is common in classic Mini world but it often wins a lot of flashlights from camera in any Mini events, convoy, or gathering.

A different way to fix the door to your Mini

If you feel boring with the ordinary way to open your car door, why not try something like this? This Mini (probably a MK5) is spotted in the UK during a car event. Everything looks normal except the MK1 door hinges is fitted the other way round. It catches a lot of flashlights from different cameras because the yellow door looks a little bit odd. Well, at lease it is something special. DO try this at home.

Mini rollover, eat some mud, and back on road again

Before the rollover crash

A red color Mini had a rollover accident during a classic Mini convoy from Kuala Lumpurto Pahang last year. The driver is believed lose control and leave the roadway and crashed in the canyon that is about three meters deep. He did not get pinned in the car and he is managed to get out from the car. A tow truck was there to tow the car out from the mud. No injuries occurred as a result of the accident.

As for the poor red Mini, it received some dents on the body as well as front bumper and the left rear side windscreen was broken. Other than that, no major damage except it’s all covered with mud especially the left door panel. Thanks to the strong engine sump guard, the engine did not damage at all. Stainless steel Aston fuel cap locked the petrol tank tight too. The car just start after it is being “landed” again.

Owner of the red Mini drove the car few hundred miles again after the incident. Now that’s the spirit of Malaysia Mini Drivers! The rest of the story can be read from the 14 photos shared here taken from Rudy Harris.
