The Mini Cooper Coupe is a fun car with an exhilarating driving experience – and this particular example is especially desirable, as it’s the high-performance John Cooper Works model that boasts a 208-horsepower turbocharged engine – a big number for a car this size.

It’s also finished in gorgeous Lightning Blue Metallic, and it’s equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. This Mini is also nearly unmodified, and it comes with a clean, accident-free Carfax report showing ownership in warm-climate states from new – and it’s offered with the added excitement of no reserve!
The Coupé’s windscreen is angled rearwards by 13 degrees more than in the cabrio’s and the roof is 29 mm (1.1 inches) lower than standard Mini Hatch. The rear spoiler rises automatically at speeds above 50 mph (80 km/h), or with the use a toggle switch above the rear view mirror.

The range of the Coupé follows a similar pattern to other Mini models; featuring Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper SD and the range-topping John Cooper Works (JCW). The JCW version accelerates from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h) thanks to a turbocharged 208 bhp (155 kW; 211 PS) 1,598 cc four-cylinder.
