2013 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Coupe

DRAFT PENDING CHANGES

Mini Cooper fans, rejoice! This example is an uncommon, low-mileage John Cooper Works Coupe made even more desirable through a remarkably faithful conversion to rare, factory GP spec.

This example was ordered in October 2012, made in Cowley, Oxfordshire, England and BMW's factory in December 2012 and delivered on January 2, 2013 to MINI of Peabody in Peabody, Massachusetts.

Finished in White Silver Metallic (code A62) with John Cooper Works signature Chili Red (code 851) roof, side mirror caps, spoilers and painted racing stripes on hood and roof. Some buff books remarked at the time that the car looked like it wore a backward baseball cap, emphasized here with the red hue. The car's paint and trim are all in excellent overall shape. The car's bodywork is straight and solid, the body-colored bumpers fit tightly to the body, the engine bay is very tidy and cargo area looks good.

This Mini rolls on Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 radials, size 205/45R17 at every corner. Each one is mounted on a factory GP wheel. The wheels and tires are all in very good order. The John Cooper Works model has red Brembo four-piston front brake calipers with 12.4-inch ventilated discs.

Under the wee hood is a 1.6L DOHC 16-valve turbocharged four-cylinder engine (code N14) with direct fuel injection, variable valve timing and variable valve lift. Backing this motor is a six-speed manual transmission. Driver convenience features are lengthy - air-conditioning with microfilter and air-recirculation; electric power-assisted steering; power four-wheel disc brakes; power windows; tilt and telescopic steering column; power-folding + heated sideview mirrors; heated front seats; retractable headlight washers; Xenon headlights; six-way adjustable front buckets; and more.

Oher goodies include a cold weather package, Mini Connected option and Rennline Porsche racing-style door pulls, Bose JCW-Q35 noise-cancelling headphones and aftermarket wheels with snow tires.

Safety equipment includes dual front airbags; side thorax airbags; anti-lock brakes, dynamic traction control; electronic differential lock control; corner brake control; keyless entry; rain sensor; auto headlight-on; and rear foglamp.

Inside, the Carbon Black Dinamica Red Recaro sport seats with Chili Red trim and matching seatbelts, look fantastic. There are checkered flag mats that are part of the JCW package on the floor that could use some TLC, an anthracite headliner, a black and grey instrument panel and matching inner door panels with a leather-wrapped, three-spoke steering wheel. There's a Harman Kardon premium AM/FM audio system with HD radio, six speakers, presets and auxiliary input + Bluetooth with USB/iPod integration that rounds out the interior along with a console-mounted shift lever.

The Coup (Coupe in the US), which went on sale in the UK from 1 October 2011 and is based on the Mini Cabriolet but with only two seats, allowing a bigger boot of 9.9 cubic feet. The Coup's windscreen is angled rearwards by 13 degrees more than in the cabrio's and the roof is 1.1 inches lower than standard Mini Hatch. The rear spoiler rises automatically at speeds above 50 miles per hour or with the use a toggle switch above the rearview mirror.

The range of the Coup follows a similar pattern to other Mini models; featuring Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper SD and the range-topping John Cooper Works (JCW). The JCW version accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.4 seconds and has a top speed of 149 mph. All are equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox with the option of six-speed Steptronic automatic.

Documentation includes original window sticker, original owner's manual, original promotional catalogs, original door pulls, OEM JCW two-tone cover with racing stripes, aftermarket chrome trim rings, OEM chrome vent rings.

Competition to this Mini in 2013 included Audi's TT Coupe, Honda's Civic Si, Hyundai Veloster Turbo, Scion's FR-S and Subaru's BRZ Premium.
