The Appeal
In 1959, Jack Braham - with the Cooper-Climax team - took home a spectacular victory at the 1959 World Championship of Drivers. The very same year, Cooper took home the gold for the 1959 International Cup for F1 Manufacturers. It seemed that year they really could do no wrong, and it continues to be celebrated as one of the significant anniversaries in Motorsport.
Clearly, when the 50th anniversary arrived in 2009, a celebration was in order, and Mini decided to bring out this rather spectacular special edition especially for the occasion. Only 500 of these were built, only 100 of which ever entered the UK market, and came with quite an enviable spec. For the £33,000 asking price, you received already potent JCW performance with exclusive styling elements and enhanced specification, including the full John Cooper Works aerodynamics package.
This particular example from 2010 presents a compelling opportunity for MINI enthusiasts and collectors alike, boasting complete service history, recent comprehensive maintenance, and careful ownership. Having been stored under a cover and maintained in original factory specification, this is a great opportunity to make one of the most desirable MINI editions your own!
