Up for auction is a 2003 MINI COOPER for sale by the original owner. This is a perfectly maintained roadster in great condition with only 35k on the vehicle. The photographs of this car speak for themselves. But if you are looking for an excuse to get away, I invite you to come see the car in person in the village of Noank, Connecticut. On your way out of town grab a lobster roll at the famous Abbott's just down the road. In addition to the standard gizmos, this car is outfitted by MINI with extra fog lights, leather seats, and sweet rims. The car is also wired to accept a portable XM radio. You will notice some scuff marks on the door handles. Otherwise the car is near mint. The car is a joy to drive and I hope you will enjoy it for years to come. Below are some more smart words about the appeal of MINI. Good luck bidding! 2002 - 2003 Mini Cooper Used Car ReviewSource: AutoTrader.comJanuary 2, 2009Introduction Talk to any Mini owner, and you will more than likely find someone who is really fond of the car and enjoys driving it as much as possible. Even though it might be one of the smallest cars (it is the shortest) on the market in the US, it feels much bigger. It is also surprisingly roomy inside, and if you fold down the back seats, there is plenty of storage space.All in all, it's much more than just a small hatchback it's a premium sporty car — fitting as it is made by BMW, the purveyor of cars that appeal to those who enjoy driving.Overview Iconic. It is the only word to describe the Mini Cooper. And we are referring to both the new car and the original. First introduced in 1959, the original British Austin Mini was revolutionary in design as it offered an unheard of amount of interior space for such a small car. Thanks to its front-wheel-drive configuration, it also offered hitherto unheard of handling for something other than a sports car. It captured the hearts and minds of millions over the following four decades, and it also took motor sports by storm with its incredible handling.Fast forward to 2002, and by now the British auto industry had all but disappeared. Fortunately BMW, which at the time owned the last of many of the brands of the British Leyland empire, saw fit to re-introduce the Mini.The new Mini stayed true to its heritage but was thoroughly modern — presumably just like the car would have been had it been continuously developed over the years. It was nothing akin to a retro car — a fad that seems to have passed.Originally, BMW was concerned there might not be sufficient demand to warrant selling the new Mini in the US. After all, only a minuscule 12,000 original Minis were sold in the US in the 1960s. BMW's doubts were quickly erased, as the Mini has sold far better than expected in the US and worldwide since 2002.
