This 2008 Mini Cooper S Sidewalk Edition Convertible is a striking example finished in Astro Black with black upholstery. Powered by a supercharged 1.6-liter inline-four engine paired with a six-speed manual transaxle, this model offers an engaging driving experience.
Equipped with the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit, the car delivers factory-rated 207 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. It features a black soft top, 17″ Night Spoke alloy wheels, a limited-slip differential, xenon headlights, fog lights, and rear parking sensors. Additional exterior highlights include body-color mirror caps, a hood scoop, twin center-exit exhaust outlets, and subtle gray center stripes. Notably, the door sills display “Last of the Supercharged” graphics, indicating this vehicle is #48 of the final 100 supercharged Mini Coopers produced. A matching emblem can also be found on the grille.
This R52 Cooper S Convertible has traveled 59,000 miles, with approximately 270 miles added under the current ownership since purchase in 2025. Its history traces through Oklahoma, Kansas, and Florida, and it comes with a clean Carfax report and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
Mechanically, the car is well-maintained. Key replacements completed in 2025 include the brake master cylinder, power steering intake and return hoses, power steering reservoir, and the parking brake handle (replaced in July 2025). A brake fluid flush was also performed that year. The trunk seal was renewed in September 2025. An oil change was carried out in August 2024, and the crankshaft position sensor O-ring was replaced in 2025. The vehicle is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control for enhanced safety and handling.
The 17″ Night Spoke alloy wheels are fitted with 205/45 Bridgestone Potenza RE980 tires, replaced as recently as August 2025.
Inside, the cabin offers black upholstered seating surfaces with heated front seats, cruise control, a Harman Kardon sound system, a CD stereo, and automatic climate control for comfort and convenience. The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a column-mounted 8,000-rpm tachometer, while a 150-mph speedometer with integrated fuel level and coolant temperature gauges is centrally located on the dashboard.
This Mini Cooper S is a rare and well-preserved convertible, ideal for enthusiasts seeking the “Last of the Supercharged” model with an engaging manual transmission and a comprehensive service history. It is offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual and service records included.
