Great condition with engine bay restoration and supercharger service just 3 months ago
Very long MOT, until September 2023
The Appeal
JCW Mini Coopers are what many hot hatch enthusiasts look up to and admire. This particular model, fitted with 225 Motorsport kit is one of a handful exceeding the more common 210 iteration of the era.
Finished in Astro Black with silver stripes, the car looks good and with the 421 exhaust manifold, it has a great soundtrack to match. Inside, this is a top-spec car featuring everything from a Harmon Kardon sound system to carbon fibre gear knob and heated Recaro Sports seats.
The car has been very well kept with great service history and many parts replaced when appropriate. In fact, the clutch is less than 15,000 miles old while the entire engine bay was restored not 3 months ago. This has to be one of the best condition Cooper S JCW examples around.
Full spec model with heated Recaro sports seats, chrono clocks and black headlining, visibility pack including auto dipping rear mirror, heated front screen, auto wipers and lights, Harman Kardon hi-fi, multifunction steering wheel with cruise control, automatic climate control
Inside and out, this Mini Cooper S JCW 225 is built to satisfy the die-hard hot hatch fan. Its sporty interior is softened somewhat by plenty of creature comforts such as a great sound system and heated seats while the exterior styling lets everyone know what the car is capable of.
Thanks to its scarcity today, the JCW 225 Motorsport kit ensures very few Mini Coopers from the same era will rival this B-road weapon.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
