Thank you for considering my 2012 John Cooper Works MINI Coupe, the top of the line 208 HP coupe with a factory-modified turbocharged engine, JCW suspension, larger JCW wheels and tires, JCW four-wheel drilled Brembo brakes, JCW dual exhaust, JCW Sport and Performance and Cold Weather Packages, JCW badging and much, much more. Please do not compare my little go cart with the basic non-turbo Cooper coupe (168 HP/15 inch wheels) or the (188 HP/16 inch wheels) Cooper S coupe. Do not confuse this vehicle with a MINI coupe that offers the John Cooper Works Aero Package but not the stuff that really matters. I adore this car; it is as fast as the BMW M Roadster I owned a few years back, but the corners are where this coupe truly shines. MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension combine with anti-roll bars to give the MINI Coupe go-kart like handling. Silver White Metallic Paint with red racing stripes down the center, red top, 17-inch black wheels and Continental tires adorn this unique John Cooper Works coupe, and everything I just mentioned is in excellent (if not showroom) condition. No dents, dings, scratches or road rash...period. Every forward-facing body part is protected by Clear Bra, and I will never own another car that isn't. It has anti-lock brakes and 4-wheel drilled disc brakes, Dynamic Stability Control and every available performance and safety feature available from MINI except navigation. On the very rare occasions I use nav, I use the app on my phone. The Speed-sensitive electronic power steering is amplified in the Sport mode, as is the throttle response, so I drive almost exclusively in that mode...unless I am road-tripping and getting 38-39 miles per gallon at 65 miles per hour! This is the most unique, fun and best-engineered sports car I have ever owned. Better than my 2006 Honda S2000, my 2005 Nissan 350Z, my 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera, my 2002 BMW M Roadster, my 2006 BMW M Roadster or my original (first one sold in Utah) 2002 MINI Cooper S. This rare coupe has a little less that 25k miles and will enjoy free Mini Service through May of 2015 and full factory bumper-to-bumper warranty through May of 2016. I have included an exhaustive list of features and options below, but feel free to call me with any questions or comments. There are no/zero surprises with this car, so bid with confidence. Under some circumstances, I may be able to deliver the car to you. In response to a couple of questions I received about the VIN check showing 3 previous owners, please disregard that information. The VIN check is counting the dealership where I bought the car as the second owner, which can't be true since they never titled the coupe while it was in their possession and only put about 20 miles on it while they were in possession of it. If the number of owners was correct, the score on this car would be 97 instead of 94. Sorry about the confusion, but I am the second owner. You would be the third owner and, when the car is titled, the number of certified owners would be correct. Be advised that I previously listed this vehicle on ebay, but that deal didn't work out. This is a new posting with a lower price. Thanks, Mike 801.891.1938 Vehicle Description (including every option)

Mini delivers Paddy Hopkirk Edition car to the rally legend himself
Mon, Dec 21 2020Mini has given rally racing legend Patrick "Paddy" Hopkirk one of the first special edition Cooper S models inspired by his thrilling victory at the 1964 Rally Monte Carlo. The Paddy Hopkirk Limited Edition has a production run of just 100 units in the U.K., with "a few hundred" more coming to the U.S. Fifty-six years ago, the original Morris Mini Cooper S achieved the unthinkable with Hopkirk and navigator Henry Liddon behind the wheel of a Mk I. It won the Rally Monte Carlo overall. The race snaked through the French Alps and ended with laps around the Monaco Grand Prix circuit, but the Mini's nimbleness and tiny size and proved to be advantages in the snowy and narrow mountain roads. It was a tremendous feat against more powerful competitors from Mercedes-Benz, Saab, Volvo, Citroen and Ford's V8 Falcon. Hopkirk calls it a "David and Goliath" victory, especially with the money other automakers were spending on the event. "We were beaten by the big American cars down the straights, but we would beat them on the twisty bits!" he reminisced upon taking delivery. This content is hosted by a third party.

The Paddy Hopkirk Limited Edition sees no performance upgrades, keeping the turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder capable of 189 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Both six-speed manuals and a 7-speed automatic are offered, but the thing that sets it apart are the Chili Red and white roof colorway with the number 37 on the doors, a tribute to the winning rally car's livery. An offset white hood stripe with the code "33 EJB" in it hearkens back to Hopkirk's car's registration number. "I’m so flattered to have a Mini named in my honor." Hopkirk said upon receiving the car. "Motorsport is long behind me now and for my win at the Monte Carlo Rally to be remembered in this way is a great thrill and honor." 2021 Mini Hardtop Cooper S View 15 Photos Related Video:
Mini sells 500,000th car in US
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Mini has officially sold 500,000 vehicles in the United States. The achievement came just a few days after the company commemorated its 11th anniversary in America. When the automaker first opened its doors to US buyers in 2002, it sold just 24,590 unis. Last year, the automaker moved 66,123 vehicles thanks in part to an expanded lineup that now includes the Clubman, Countryman, Coupe, Roadster and Paceman in addition to the stalwart Hardtop and Convertible. The company plans to have some 130 dealerships nationwide by the end of 2013; there are currently 116 Mini dealers in the US.
Mini helped reignite an interest in small cars with plenty of personality when it debuted the Cooper 11 years ago. The move helped pave the way for machines like the Fiat 500, Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic. Check out the quick press release on the 500,000th Mini model below.
BMW restores classic Mini as it revives production in Netherlands
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Mini will be kicking off production in the Netherlands, a country that hasn't built a Mini-badged machine since 1966. In honor of this event, BMW Group Classic, the team responsible for all the cars in the BMW Museum, as well as being a spare parts and restoration company in its own right, revived a classic 1959 Austin Seven. That particular car, number 983, was one of the first Minis to be built in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands' JJ Molenaar's Car Companies built 4,000 Austin Sevens and Morris Mini-Minors between 1959 and 1966, although we imagine Dutch Mini production will be much bigger when it starts up again in summer 2014. A five-person team from VDL Nedcar, the group handling production of new Minis, took to the job of restoring the diminutive British car from nose to tail.
The 34-horsepower engine and the transmission were both completely rebuilt, while the door panels were redone by hand. Help from the Mini community aided the VDL Nedcar team in finding authentic replicas or original parts where possible. All told, the new classic Mini is a striking example of what a good restoration can do to a car. The Seven was repainted in its original Farina Gray, adding to the car's sense of authenticity.
