I've decided to add a few of these First Series JCW Cooper S cars to the register, as there aren't many around and they are not as easy to identify as the facelift cars from 05 onward. This one looks a bit rough, but has OK Ks on the clock at 165,000, and was asking $10k in 2023. The car has since sold, and worthy of a clean up.. A good cheap example of a fun 200hp Cooper S. They are becoming a...

The car has been completely restored. The condition is almost as good as new. (Documentation is available)

I just bought this 2004 R53 Cooper S - John Cooper Works (JCW) special! The JCW cars had a revised head, re-mapped ECU, higher performance spark plugs, and a few other unique features, which made the first series cars good for 200hp. The size makes it plenty of fun to drive, and the supercharger gives it that authentic wyning noise from the gearbox. Lots of fun, and not a lot of fork to do with...

This 1972 GT has been advertised on Ebay UK for a while now, and looks to be an immaculate restoration of this early example. Asking GBP 34,995, it's not cheap, and it's no Cooper S - but if the GT is your thing, there's probably not many better examples of the series 1 GT out there. See the original listing here. The seller stated in the original advertisement that this is a matching numbers...

This 1275 GT from 1979 was advertised on Ebay UK with bids just over GBP 5,000 and a few days still to run.

Needs a full restoration. Has a Webasto sunroof in...

This classic early GT sold on Ebay UK for 9,000 GBP in November 2022. In quite a state, it was supposedly last on the road in 1978 and has been stored by the same owner in different locations ever since, having just over 75,000 miles on the clock.. A real Barn find. It retains its original Bronze Yellow paint with Black interior. Twin tanks (not original but replicating the Cooper S), and the...

I've always liked the first series of the New Mini - the R53, and this one's a particularly special variant, being the John Cooper Works Special. Finished in a popular blue metallic (I remember seeing lots in this colour back in the early 00s), the car has just over 100,000km on the clock and looks in close to immaculate condition. The first series New Minis are the smallest of the new Minis, and...
