This is an AS-IS sale of a 2006 R52 Cooper convertible manual transmission for anyone looking to parts it out or repair themselves (hoping the latter, she's a wonderful go cart). Car is currently not drivable and located at a shop in Baltimore, MD (can be towed).

Right front axel broke a few days ago which also means front bushing, mounts, seals, control arms, etc also need to be checked and/or replaced. Needs other non-critical work like peeling paint, slow coolant leak, and seat stitching, but all things that make it a great project car for someone looking to tinker and fix her back up. Wheels, brakes, and exhaust (incl. muffler) are all relatively new. Convertible top works great. Car starts, no check engine light, and clean title. 204k miles.

Selling because shop wants over $4k to repair (mostly labor), and I don't have time/space currently to DIY. Someone with tools/skills should easily be able to fix for MUCH less, or parts it out for great value.

Please contact soon as possible if you're interested to make arrangements.



Day the Axel broke

On showcase at the MME2025 car show.

 

UPDATE: Car sold (fast)! Happy to say my beloved R52 convertible is now in the hands of someone planning to work on getting her back on the road for continued journeys.
