Description
2010 MINI John Cooper Works Convertible - 265BHP+ - Quaife LSD - Fully Documented Enthusiast Build
This is not a standard JCW Convertible, nor is it a hastily modified example. It is a carefully developed, enthusiast-owned car that has been continuously improved over the last five years using quality components from respected manufacturers.
Every modification has been selected to improve performance, reliability, and drivability, resulting in what I believe is one of the best-sorted R57 JCW Convertibles available.
The car has covered just 90,000 miles, has always been garaged, is only driven in dry weather and has covered less than 4,000 miles in the last three years. It passed its MOT with no advisories in April and is ready to be enjoyed immediately.
This is a genuine reluctant sale simply because I feel it's time to move into something a little more refined.

Why This Car?
There are plenty of modified JCW's advertised, but very few have been built with this level of care or attention to detail.
The Quaife differential completely transforms how the car puts its power down, while the supporting modifications mean the engine performs exactly as it should without simply chasing headline figures.
This is a very fast, reliable, and exceptionally well-sorted JCW that has been enjoyed, maintained, and improved regardless of cost.
It is ready to be driven and enjoyed by its next enthusiast owner.
