Head over to our website for more information.
We're delighted to welcome this exceptional factory John Cooper Works MINI back into our showroom, having originally sold it to its previous owner in August 2025. Since then, it has formed part of a carefully curated private collection and is now only available again as the owner has made the difficult decision to downsize and sell a number of vehicles and personal belongings. In our opinion, this is one of the finest R53 JCWs we've ever had the pleasure of offering.
Finished in stunning Chili Red, it combines breathtaking looks with incredible provenance. What makes this example truly special is that it is a genuine factory-built John Cooper Works, with the JCW designation recorded on the original V5C from new, rather than being a dealer-installed conversion as the vast majority were. Factory JCW cars are exceptionally rare and highly sought after, with the added benefit that insurers generally recognise them as factory specification rather than modified vehicles, often making insurance simpler and more straightforward.
Opportunities to purchase a car of this calibre, rarity and provenance come along very rarely, and we have no doubt this will become a prized addition to any serious MINI collection.
