Thanks, bobhess.
Nice thing about ordering a car is that you can set it up the way you want. I did not like any of the stripes or other tacky add-ons.

Plus, I was able to match the interior with the exterior.

Have never seen that color combination. Nice!

The problem with JC Works cars is that they get better with every model, So, here you are buying the top model of 2003. 20 years later, they are better. I know, tht’s subjective, you’re opinion may vary.

I owned an ’08 Cooper S Coupe and it was cool that I could custome build it to my liking – all performance and no luxury items. Drove on rails – for sure! I got rid of it at 90K for fear of repair costs. At that point it needed a water pump and a check engine light that kept coming on despite numerous resets.

The Charger it replaced went 160K without a single issue and now a nephew is enjoying it. Not as much fun, but reliability counts for something in my book.

I just spoke to the owner.

I did not realize this car has a lifetime platinum warranty..

This make all the difference in the world..

My last mini had to replace the an air compressor and a window regulator cost me $4500 at mini \. The warranty adds major value..I wish had an warranty..

This car is irreplaceable one of a kind museum piece…

Cannot be duplicated…

The warranty is icing on the cake..Drive worry free

2005 is the first year for the R52 Build in England and assembled in Germany

The New Mini’s are not true Mini’s, parts from all over the world even china…

Someone should snatch this up none to found one..

Good Luck to the new owner..

And if you’ll take a little of your time to do a bit of research you’ll discover that the Corvette is the longest running model of any vehicle in American history. If you cannot respect that I’m calling Un-American! I just took delivery of a 70th anniversary C8. Drive one and you will understand the true meaning of “Holy Grail’

Had to replace both the AC compressor and right door regulator at 56K on our ’03. Did my own work but if you only paid $4,500 you came out good. Shop work at our dealers is a bit over $125 an hour and these two jobs can’t be done in a day.

This is the most Beautiful Bad A#% Mini I ever seen.

It is a rare breed….This is a full blown high performance JWC package..

Love the JWC black chrome tips

You cant compare this car with Vette’s and Honda’s.

This Mini is in a class all by itself…

Never seen a 2005 JWC with Areo kit and Bad A#% rims..

I know this car handles like a slot car and is fast for what it is)

If had had extra funds would by this in a second….

Good luck to the seller

Indeed a nice Mini..

A red 2006 Jwc with 22k miles fetched Almost 29k…

Triple Black is more Bad A#$

With low miles and this condition they will only go up in value)

Cooter- You are d’man! $32K puts one in a target-rich Corvette environment- ZR-1, Grand Sport, the Z06 you mentioned, etc.

Me too. We bought an 80K 2 owner RE53 Cooper S in xlnt condition for $4000 earlier this year. It is enormous fun, can do long distance but packaging means it is A 2 seater really.

No need to get sucked into overpowered and overpriced special edition nonsense.
