Highlights
Highly regarded 228bhp JCW Re-Mapped to 310bhp

High specification with nearly £4,000 factory options
£3000 track exhaust system with remote control valve operation and carbon tips
Current MOT valid to September 2026 with no advisories
The Appeal
Go-kart handling, signature styling, torquey 2L 228bhp engine thats been re-mapped to 310bhp and bigger Brembo brakes all ensure the JCW is quicker, sharper and altogether better than any regular F56 Cooper. These are cars built simply for the joy of driving.
This car dials up the visual drama of these eye-catching cars by pairing JCW-exclusive Rebel Green with optional red roof and mirrors. There is a long list of factory fitted options that totalled close to £4,000 when new. It includes heads up display and the Driving Assist package. The car was fitted post-factory with a £3,000 track exhaust system with remote control valve operation and carbon tips,
This is a tidily presented car in good order with the added reassurance of a lengthy, advisory free MOT.
The vendor says:
"The car presents well; the paint is original and there are some age and mileage-related marks, including some stone chips to the front, but in general the car looks great.
"The car has enjoyed touring and long journeys hence the above average mileage and is an ideal opportunity to get a high-spec JCW Cooper S for less than the average cost of one of these cars. Comes with service history and just fitted with 4 new tyres. And an MOT until end of September this year." image.png2.06 MB

The vendor says:
"In January 2025 the car was given a Cat N insurance category after hitting a fox which caused the lower front spoiler to distort (it had actually only come unclipped) the windscreen to crack and crack the grille and number plate plinth. There was no body damage and the car need no paint so still remains original. The car was fitted with a new JCW grille, gloss black number plate plinth and a new windscreen, and the lower spoiler simply clipped back into place. See last picture in gallery for the what the car was like damaged and you can see it was all very cosmetic."
