Nope and some how people below believe it 🙄
What are we doing here? Giving it away? That’s very generous, but also raises major red flags. Anyone that gets contacted about this car, I hope it’s legit, but please be very careful.
Yeah it’s nonsense. Best case scenario it’s some rich dude enjoying the grovelling, “best and nicest request wins” ok buddy
How are you just giving it away for free? I mean I would love a free Mini haha but nothing in this life is free..
This car will be given away as a gesture of good will free at the end of this month to the best and nicest request for it ..... money isn't the be all and all to me ive done OK in life and now it's time to give to others....I retired this year at 52 so now is the time to enjoy my life and do what is best for everyone
Super nice of you, nice car, hope your retirement is amazing =) I don't need another mini, but wanted to comment on your kindness. =)
Oh I see! Wow that is very kind and noble of you.
That is very kind and generous of you. I'm happy there are people in this world that would put others above themselves. I hope whomever receives this great gift truly appreciates it. On a side note how do you like the cravenspeed shift knob?
Gearbox recently blew up on my brothers car, Looking at getting a moped as times are tough. would be a wonderful replacement for him!
Funny. I bought my daughter a 2004 mini from an auction for her 16th birthday. It drove okay. I brought it home washed it got it all gussied up, put on the big ol birthday bow and we go out on her birthday morning and the dang thing will not start. I felt so defeated. This is supposed to create an amazing core memory and I blew it. I felt so horrible and defeated. Anyway that was a month ago and I'm still playing detective throwing parts at it and it has become a money pit and my daughter still doesn't have a car.
How could someone not want it, I literally said the other day an all black cooper s would be like the dream mini..
US based, but 10/10 beautiful vehicle. I’m hoping that when my mini bites the dust in the next year (unless I get lucky and it lasts longer) that I can find another manual. I’m sure you’ll find a deserving home, and I’m looking forward to seeing the follow up post!
Massive respect if this is legit. Would love it but this should definitely go to someone more in need. Or auction it for charity or summat.
That's true but giving time to a charity is just as important as money.
Indeed. And you should obviously ignore me and anyone else and do whatever you want with it anyway!
Nice gesture dude ✌️
Well you are a very generous person, both for buying this for your daughter and for giving it away! It would make a great stablemate for my F60 Countryman S, and it would stop me asking my wife if we can save up for a second, sportier car...
Whoever you choose will be very lucky
Same can also go with my F60 and I will have my project car
I'm a guy, but can I be your daughter? That car is awesome!
Ah I don't have a son just two girls and they often ask to borrow my cars and there is 26 of them to pick from and I'm weak so I always say yes you would be better off being my son lol .....my 22 year old was driving my green performante spyder the other day I was terrified and prayed she came back in one piece.
Tbf she would of driven the mini faster than the lambo.
She hated it too big for her and too shouty the green lambo ....excellent my plan worked a treat she won't ask to drive it again now lol 😆
Thats a really nice one. Did you bought it like that? If so do you know what has been done on it in general? 🙈
I would love mine to be tuned like this. 💭
Still I would throw my vote in here too so my gf has a chance to have a nice one too and we can drive both with a mini together, would be lovely.
This kind of generosity is crazy and very very kind. Not many people would do that. - Hope you choose someone who also cares for the car and don’t just sell it after you gave it to them. 🙈
It would help me and the family, I'll happily accept it!
I hope you find a home for her. Someone will really love this car. I could not have been happier with the first mini I bought.
A very kind gesture, and whoever gets it will certainly love it! I have never owned a Mini, but am dreaming of having one in the future. Our family had an orange Mini from the 80’s which made me fall in love with the brand and follow this subreddit.
Pick me!!!!
I’m totally up for adding a mini to the fleet! I bought one for my sister (she has been through some bad times) and she loves it! Whomever gets this will be a lucky person!
Boy oh boy… My 2005 with a failing supercharger would reeaally love the company of this beauty lol
So are you giving away the car or your daughter, following this ungratefulness? 🤣
Giving away an expensive car for free seems unreal, but I would like to enter a giveaway.
Me and my wife loved our mini until we left the old country and had to sell it. But, at least it served us well and helped evacuate a few people when shit got real. Are you based in the UK?
My heart breaks for you. Your daughter has terrible taste
Lol 😆
Missed my opportunity to own a mini because vroom sold me one that’s steering wheel locked up while driving… now I own a Prius… pls save me
How do I enter this giveaway??
Dang! That’s epic! Where do you live?
This would be a nice replacement for my R53. . .
Can I be your new son?
What are those wheels? I’d love to get them for my cooper s
I ha e no idea I just bought the car I don't even know what model it is apart from it's a coooer s
But your AutoTrader post seems to list every specific detail about the car 🤔
My broda. I am an African travelling miles from point A to point B. This car is all I ask now ah.
Lol but on a serious note, I love the Mini. Something about the design is intriguing and unique. Can't say the least about many current sporty cars of today. Whenever I see one on the roads of South Africa, I can only pray it were me experiencing that drive.
... Only hope and time will tell the story.
An incredibly kind thing to do, not just for your daughter but to whoever ends up with it! Lovely car, I miss mine :')
Good luck everyone!
Comment for entries?!
Wild stuff on reddit. Looks like you have a pretty wild car collection too.
How did you start your collection? How do you support your collection?
If I receive this car, I will fly out to your country and use car daily to drive around do daily goodwill to others in need(seniors/poor) with it for six months, record it to motivate others 🙏🏼😊🩵
Thats a beautiful car. Whoever gets it will love it!
Certainly a cracker! Pity not to your daughter's taste.
This sounds awesome, I’ve always wanted a mini I have multiple on gt7 that I drive religiously. Keep up the good work mate anyone who gets this beautiful machine will be very very lucky and thrilled.
My Dad taught me (daughter) how to drive a manual gearbox with a MINI that I wanted to purchase (and ended up doing so). He’s retired now; how wonderful it would be if he was gifted a MINI!
Hey if you want to send it to NYC, I’ll make it a proper track car.
I absolutely love the MINI brand and culture but not in the financial position to own one myself. I’m also the unluckiest person in the world, so I’m not counting on being selected but I hope whoever gets picked enjoys the hell out of it. This is a very cool thing you’re doing to change someone’s life!
So how do I enter this content?
Let me guess, we only have to pay shipping and handling fees ?!!
You willing to ship to Kansas USA? I’d love to have a proper RHD mini here in the States
I’m a good home!
What's not to like? If it was a clubbie I might debase myself whether this was legitimate or not. If it is, it'll be a miracle for someone and may restore some faith in humanity. If not, well... karma in one form or another.
Suuuuuure
An incredibly generous offer! We’d make great use of it as we’re expecting our first child soon and are currently between cars shall we say! I also happen to be a huge mini enthusiast and would finally be able to get involved in the mini fun down in Brighton where we live!
I could totally use this! My current ride is now at 253k miles and starting to have starter problems. I’ve always loved minis but I’ve never been able to buy one as of yet. This would be a dream come true
Damn, I could really use a car to get to school instead of riding the train for an extra hour (each way) every day. Really makes me wish I picked a closer school but the only school close to me didn’t have the degree I wanted :/ Every university or college is at least an hour away(by car (and even longer on public transportation)) from me so as it stands I have to ride for two hours one way. I’m screwed if I get held back and have to take a later train
I have a 2013 Mini Cooper S that has 105000 on the clock. It is in the dealership and worried it is time to think of something newer. I hope to be getting it back today, but I am expecting a pricey bill. This is the 3rd Mini Cooper I have owned and personally love the brand. The first Mini I purchased was for my daughters 18th birthday in 2014. She really loved the car! I would love to put in my request for consideration.
I think the most fitting thing for me to do if I won this would be to give it to my dad as a retirement present. He helped me buy my first mini so it would be like coming full circle. Absolute stunner of a motor
How amazingly generous, I would love to give this to my girlfriend. She deserves the world and a lovely car to see it in as a reward for all she does for me and my daughter! Would absolutely blow her away for our 10 year anniversary this year!
woww, cant believe your daughter didnt like this. What does she have her eye on instead (just curious). This is a beautiful car and if you truely are giving it away, youre a good person. I hope someone who ends up getting this treats it right and takes care of it.
Driving that thing would be glorious. It looks amazing. Im in the UK thought and I'm not sure you are! You're an amazing person tho. Not sure why this popped up in my homepage as I'm not on the mini subreddit. Love them though! I live about 10 miles away from the mini factory in Oxford, I see so many minis I always wanted to join the gang
Edit to add, damn you see some nice cars and that green Audi is lovely!
23M here, my current mini is on its last legs… would love a new one to get me to work
Good lord, I would pay for this... I will drive to where you are, and rub your feet lol. I would do some awful things for this car.
edit: manual transmission = wonderful... right-hand drive... are you across the pond? I will pick it up, and drive it over the Atlantic Ocean :P
Ship to us???!!! 😂
I’ll be happy to give it a good home. I was thinking of giving my current mini to my Niece.
I've owned many cars and my mini is my biggest regret selling. It was the best thing to drive and I still dream about it regularly. Man if only I wasn't a broke college student at the time I could have afforded to keep er. I still kept all my memorabilia from it cause of how unique and fun to drive it was. Such good times. One day ill get another. For now Good luck and godspeed.
My 06 r50 is dying on me and the lack of funds to repair it leaves me eventually needing a new car💔, this would be great 🖤
Please lord
That looks fun as heck to drive! Does the exhaust sound as good as it looks??
Good luck to the lucky winner of this beauty!
A dad in my scout troop was recently diagnosed with cancer. If I were chosen I would auction it off and donate the money to his family. I'd love a stick but they need it more.
Currently for sale at Storm of Leicester. Don’t believe everything you see on the internet kids.
Pls can I have :) I like mini’s
Hi,
my daugher is 2 and would love this as her first car! I'll maintain it and drive it lovingly so that I can pass this down to her! What a great story this would be!
Have you considered keeping it for yourself? It would be a good entry into autocross and the MINI community is very welcoming so I’m sure you’ll have a blast. If you’re like me and like driving cars and appreciating their engineering and design more than working on them, you’ll find that MINIs are actually great cars to drive and have excellent handling. Think of it as a slower Porsche!
Of course I would be grateful to accept if you’re set on giving it away. I love the commissioned special editions MINI does as they’re unique 1 of 1s so I really appreciate this. It makes the car stand out and gives it such a unique distinction.
OMG. GIVE IT TO MEEE.
Oh wait. I can just skip the scammer middleman and buy it on autotrader where it is listed for 19k.
I would drive that car till the racing gods took it away
Honestly this post kind of gives me hope. I’ve had a week from hell and it has actually given me hope that someone is just being nice.
I’ve been laid off on Monday, had my classic ‘88 mini stolen off my drive when I went to the job centre on Wednesday and the mortgage needs renewing in August.
I hope that nobody else has as shit of a week as me! Also if you see a RAF blue mini with orange accents, it’s bloody mine!
Good luck to everyone!
Guy says it's a 1of1 but can't even remember which rims are fitted. My guy lives in a Dreamworld. Hopefully no malicious intent..
I'll take it, thanks!
Beautiful car ! Can’t believe anyone would want to give it away.
My girlfriends dream car is a mini and her shitbox is on its last legs
Amazing if this is true… I’ve recently lost my job and car, so a car wouldn’t be turned away! Either way, I hope it is true and goes to someone that’ll really appreciate it.
I'm sorry to hear about you're job loss i wish you all the very best...remember success only comes from losing now and again nobody is successful without having setbacks now and again. the car will be given away anywhere in the world too at my expense ...the winner will be messaged at the end of the month.... God bless
Thank you, that’s a great way to look at it! All the best to you and your family :)
Sounds like your in the UK so I'm probably out if luck in the states but if you decide on sending it over the pond there's a Mechanical Engineering student over here who could use some new wheels. Ive worked on minis my whole life and they are what made me want to be an ME. My old mini is on her way out and comming out of college the last thing I can afford right now is a new car.
We’d love to have this MINI. It would simply go from your daughter to my daughter.
I am sorry your daughter doesn't like it! I loved that my dad bought me a mini for my first car! It was a 2003 2 door hardtop that was gold! Loved that thing so much that I cried when I got in a wreck with it.
I would love to take that off of your hands for you. This would be a very nice replacement for my 2015 mini that I drive everywhere. It has 90k miles on it!
I hope that one day I will be able to return the offer.
oh my word, such a kind offer - my daughter would love this, she just passed her test yesterday and is busy looking for cars that aren't sh*tboxes, and insurance companies that don't screw people over.
You sound like an absolute legend to be fair.
I had a Cooper S a couple years ago & it was brilliant, I definitely miss the noise it made, rev matching was brilliant too.
If I won this, I would give it to my colleague who sadly hasn't been able to afford a car since moving over here and being buried in London prices. He keeps saying he'd love to get one but there are bigger financial priorities right now. His partner spent a year staying behind in her country saving up enough money that could be used for a house deposit, just so she could bring her dog over to the UK with her instead. They honestly seem like the sweetest couple
Hopefully u/nickpetti wins
That’s kind of you… I hope you win 👍
Beautiful. I’d take it. Would be a nice stablemate
Right hand drive - no matter, I would totally drive that in Germany! My R60 is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Very nice ride, man, and your daughter has a great dad. 👍
She is a lucky girl with her new car too lol....I tried getting away with a cheeper type of car but nope plan has backfired hahaha.... winner of it will find out the end of the month...best request wins it 👍
Oh, I would like this please! I have a r56 thats basically on its last legs, Dont have the finance to get it fully operational, Need a replacement (Mini).
That's such a shame. However if needs must I could be persuaded to come and take it off your hands to a loving home 😀 would be our 5th Mini!
I will decide at the end of the month who gets it......but as you already have 4 ? Seems a bit unfair on the others lol......I think I paid £17k for it
Yeah please give it to someone who doesn’t have one at all, not 4 as it is that’s greedy as shit..
Oh no I meant over time! Great fun cars to drive. Would be good to not have to finance a car again and have something fun for both of us again.
£17k is good for one in that spec and condition. You're being very generous in giving it away.
Ah good a true mini lover ...bonus marks for that my friend .....
Well I hope your daughter is enjoying her new-new car! And reading your other comments you really are doing such a nice thing giving this one away. Good on you.
Best of luck with the giveaway. And nice collection by the way.
There’s nothing possibly legit about this.
