The Appeal

The addition of a supercharger to the MINI Cooper turned the ‘S’ into a serious performance car that would leave most cars for dust if there were any tight and twisty lanes involved.

You don’t just get top end performance with the Mini Cooper S, it’s built to quality and safety standards by BMW, with great steering and a willing chassis it is still a versatile and practical car to live with day to day, and is now regarded as a very collectable modern day classic.

This is a rarer and quicker model, with the official dealer fitted JCW 210hp Tuning Kit comprising a machined cylinder head, supercharger with reduction pulley, injectors, air filter box, higher grade spark plugs, a cat-back sports exhaust upgrade and a remap of the ECU.
