2010 Mini Cooper S

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The second-generation, BMW-era Mini Cooper was one of the most engaging small performance cars of its era. At its heart in Cooper S form sits a turbocharged 1.6-liter Prince engine producing 172 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque, with an overboost function pushing torque to 192 lb-ft under hard acceleration. This gave the second-generation Mini genuine punch.

What sets the Cooper S apart technically is its chassis tuning. A MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension, paired with electric power steering tuned for razor-sharp response, deliver go-kart handling that make it exceptionally responsive in corners. The standard limited-slip-style electronic differential lock helps put power down cleanly out of corners.

This 2010 Mini Cooper S was ordered in Chili Red with a white top over a black interior. Its turbocharged engine is backed by the optional 6-speed Aisin automatic, and it features a sunroof.

This 2010 MINI Cooper S is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.   Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
