This specific vehicle is a “factory” produced, Clubman John Cooper Works (JCW) which means it is a different model than a Cooper S. JCW shoppers should all be aware, Mini offers a dealership installed JCW kit, commonly known as a Stage 1 kit, that bolts on to the Cooper S. This JCW kit is not the same as the true "factory" JCW I am selling. A 2010 factory JCW comes stock with 208 HP and 207 lb-ft of torque compared to 172 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque you get from the Cooper S or the 189 HP of the Cooper S with the dealership installed JCW kit. One way to tell the difference between a Cooper S with JCW tuning kit and a factory JCW car is if you stand behind the 'S' you'll see the Cooper S badge where it always is and the JCW badge on the opposite side of the boot, if you stand behind a factory JCW it will only have a JCW badge and that will be where the Cooper S is normally. The additional features of a 2010 Clubman JCW (factory) over that of a Clubman Cooper S include: A more aggressively tuned ECU, catalytic converter back performance exhaust system, the through-flow capacity of the clean air duct to the turbocharger is increased, upgraded turbocharger, upgraded pistons,the cylinder head wall thickness is increased to reduce potential stress during peak output, upgraded Getrag transmission, upgraded clutch and throw-out bearing, 6 speed manual only, 208hp, 4 piston red Brembo brakes with painted JCW logo and larger rotors/calipers, 17" JCW wheels, dynamic traction control system (DTC), electronic differential lock control (EDLC), JCW unique badging and interior finishes such as the charcoal black headliner, and on this particular vehicle you get the JCW aero kit (lower skirt, fairings, and spoiler) along with the carbon fiber hood scoop and carbon fiber gas cap cover. This vehicle is a true one of a kind and it has been treated as such by me, its meticulous owner. I bought the vehicle with only 3,000 miles on it from a Ford dealership in FL who had received it on trade-in for a less expensive vehicle when its original owner was struggling to keep up with the payments. This car has been great and has never had a single issue. It averages 32 miles per gallon for my blend of in-town and highway driving. The vehicle interior and exterior are in perfect condition with only the following cosmetic blemishes accumulated over its 44,500 miles: (1) minor door ding drivers side less than the size of a dime, (1) very small door ding passenger side which can only be seen if you know where to look and at a specific angle, (1) minor rock chip in the windshield professionally repaired by Safelite, (1) tiny scuff on one rim (less than an inch long & 1/8" wide)... and that's it... The vehicle has never had any fender benders or been in an accident and has never been to a body shop for any work at all. I really love this vehicle and am sad that I have to sell it. I am doing so in order to accommodate my growing family, who no longer will all fit in either of our efficiently sized vehicles for our annual cross-country road trip to see family. The Mini you are looking at offers great versatility with its barn door rear, extremely large cargo area (for a 33 mpg efficiency vehicle), and hidden trailer hitch. I've used the hidden hitch to tow a little six foot trailer when necessary to pick up odd-ball things for the home like mulch, furniture, wood, plants, etc. The versatility of my Mini has basically kept me from having to buy a SUV or a truck for the last several years while still allowing me to drive a greatly efficient, FUN vehicle... I would do anything to keep the Mini but I can't exactly ask my wife, our newborn baby, or our two large dogs to ride the trailer on our next road trip.. So my loss is your gain and an outstanding vehicle is hereby offered at an outstanding price.
