THE APPEAL
For those on the lookout for a Mini, the preferred choice is usually the Cooper S model and rightly so; with its 1.6 litre supercharged engine, they not only sound fantastic but also perform exceptionally well indeed. However, if you still need more on the performance side, there was the option of the John Cooper Works Tuning Package, which was installed by dealers, given its own certificate of authenticity and bumped the power up to 210 bhp.
Luckily for those of you looking for such a Mini with the famous John Cooper Works Tuning Package plus an extensive list of added extras, then this is the one for you! Coming from the dealer at £17,055, the options chosen for this particular model bumped the price up to £27,861, an impressive £10,806 worth of extras. The Mini is also the desirable convertible model, giving you the best of both worlds when the sun is out with the added bonus of hearing the superb sound of the Supercharged Mini from the Works exhaust.
