The Appeal
For MINI enthusiasts who want a bit extra there are the JCW John Cooper Works versions that channel the energy of their namesake’s Formula One World Championship winning prowess. And then there is the WC50, a limited run of 250 models produced in 2010 that dialled up the drama even further.
Acclaimed by reviewers as the best looking MINI up to that point, the WC50 was built to mark Cooper’s championship win. Each car was taken off the line, painted in exclusive Connaught Green metallic - similar to Cooper’s winning car - and then hand-finished with bespoke equipment including carbon fibre fittings and unique decals.
This gorgeous car is one of those 250 WC50s. It is in excellent condition, the bodywork and interior virtually unmarked. There is a good history file that includes a full service and all-important timing belt change just 20 miles ago. Quick, capable and above all huge fun, this pretty car is surely one of the best hot hatches of the last 15 years and likely to deliver smiles by the mile to any new owner.

Summary
The appeal of the BMW MINI is that, just like the original, it lends itself to improvement and personalisation. The WC50 is one of the rarest and most extreme factory-sanctioned evocations of that idea, a handsome and capable machine that was influenced by MINI Challenge racers and can trace its roots right back to Cooper’s racing days.
This WC50 is one of just 250 produced and is in excellent condition, its distinctive paintwork unmarked and its interior in very good condition. The service history supports the impression of careful, attentive owners and it comes fresh from that important timing belt change. This is a genuinely rare opportunity to buy one of the most desirable and distinctive R56s ever produced.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
