2005 Mini Mini Cooper S JCW (R53)

Highlights

  • Highly original example with just 29,600 miles
  • Specified from new with the sought-after JCW Tuning Kit
  • Extensive documented history file dating back to original bill of sale
  • First owner kept the car for 12 years, covering only 15,000 miles
  • Recently upgraded with R56 Cooper S front brakes and new engine mounts



The Appeal

What you're looking at here is the peak of the BMW Mini. The JCW (210) package transformed the already spirited Cooper S into something truly special, with increased power, enhanced braking, and exclusive styling touches that set it apart from standard models. This particular example stands out for its impressive specification, remarkably low mileage, and comprehensive history file that documents its careful ownership from new.
Originally supplied by Victoria Mini of Harrogate in November 2005, this Pepper White example was ordered with an extensive list of optional extras including the desirable JCW Tuning Kit, limited slip differential, and panoramic glass roof. Having covered just 29,600 miles in nearly 20 years, and benefiting from recent specialist maintenance, this Cooper S JCW represents a rare opportunity to acquire what many consider to be a future classic in very good condition.
