For sale is my pristine 2006 MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works with optional Aero kit and English Panther Leather interior.

The car has been meticulously maintained. Body and paint are in excellent condition, with no prior accidents.  My wife was hit by some debris on the freeway, which dented the hood and front air dam.  Both were replaced under insurance claim, and I had the shop clean up all dents and door dings, and spray the doors and 1/4 panels.   Paint is OE quality, bonnet stripes are matte black and painted on.  Looks impeccable, this car turns heads everywhere it goes.

It has 6-speed manual transmission and the following Factory Option Packages:

Premium Package:Automatic Air-conditioning, Panoramic Sunroof, Steering Wheel Cruise & Radio Controls, On-board Computer.

Sports Package: Dynamic Stability Control, Sports Suspension, 17-inch Alloy Wheels, Front Fog Lamps, Xenon High-intensity Headlamps, Power Headlamp Washers

John Cooper Works Package: Specially designed eaton supercharger, head, exhaust system, Limited Slip front differential, JCW Brake kit

Additional factory options include:


Heated front seats
Harman-Kardon premium sound system
4-piece all-weather rubber floor mats
medium-dark all-around window tint.
JCW aero kit

Owner installed goodies:

19mm HK rear anti-sway bar (adjustable)
Linear rate competition springs by Texas Speed Works
Polyurethane control arm bushings
SPC billet rear lower control arms for proper alignment
Polyurethane upper engine mount eliminates engine flop in transition
M7 front strut tower brace
Nanotech tint on panoramic roof, as dark as it comes
Stainless resonator delete.  Factory resonator comes with car.  Easy bolt up if you want it.
Extra chassis bracing in engine bay used to stiffen convertible MINIs.  Every bit helps.

Recent Service Includes:

Lower engine mount replaced with new factory mount
Power steering hoses (all three)
Bushings replaced with polyurethane
Oil pan gaskets
Water pump
Serpentine belt
Alignment
Major service and inspection performed by Kensington Motor Car of Las Vegas

All fluids and filters replaced, spark plugs, all systems checked and adjusted.  No mechanical problems found, you are welcome to contact them to verify.  They have a MINI technician that used to work at the dealership where I bought it.  Mark has performed the bulk of the service.

I have seen several MINIs from 2006 with less miles for sale here on eBay.   I realize mileage is always a consideration, but keep in mind that a car with 50k miles will soon need many of the repairs listed above.  The gaskets hoses, water pump and control arm bushings are fairly universal repair items for the 2002-2006 MINIs.   Although my car has higher mileage, these repairs have been completed, saving you money.

I've spent $5000 in the last year or so completing these repairs, so figure you're saving about that much over a lower mileage MINI.

Tires are Continental extreme contact DWS in 215/45, with more than 80% tread life, mounted on brand-new 17" Konig feather ultra-light performance wheels in powder black.

Also available are the factory JCW 18" alloy wheels, but they need refinishing.  All four have curb rash and need tires.  I'm willing to sell the car with only the JCW rims, keep the Konigs and contis, and discount $900 from final auction price.

As you can see from the photos, the drivers rocker panel was damaged when I installed the springs.  I was quoted $250 to resurface and paint it.  There is also a scratch near the drivers door, caused by the clip of my stupid pocket knife.  The factory appliqu'e on the rear spoiler is peeling a bit, and I was quoted $150 to remove it and spray with matte black to match the bonnet stripes.

Please keep in mind the car will need ~$500 of body and paint work to look perfect.

Interior is excellent, but there is some minor wear in the drivers seat caused by that same stupid knife clip.  Barely noticeable, but I'm giving you all the details in the interest of full disclosure.  We don't smoke and this car has never had a cigarette inside her.

I love this car to death, but we want a new GP MINI.  So we need to sell her to buy that.  Anyone looking for a head-turner that has the creature comforts of a daily-driver but is auto cross and track ready, has found it all in this incredibly fun-to-drive little package.

The car is best experienced in person, and I will be happy to arrange a showing.

Mini John Cooper Works GP spied with wide body, big wing

Wed, Feb 13 2019

The Mini John Cooper Works GP was just announced to have over 300 horsepower, and we got an early glimpse at it with teaser images. And now one of our spy photographers caught the car with very thin camouflage. The spy photos reveal that the Mini GP is sticking fairly close to the Frankfurt concept, but toning everything down a bit. At the front, the Mini GP clearly is using the current John Cooper Works hardtop front bumper, but it does have deep chin spoiler additions that allude to the GP concept's massive splitter. The grille has been revised, and the gloss black lower sections are now made of a matte black mesh design. The slot in the middle could have red accents on each side like the red stripe on the concept. The front spoiler blends right in to the new extra-wide fender flares. While the fender extensions don't protrude as far as on the concept, they're otherwise very similar in how they sweep backward at the tops and stand away from the body to allow air to flow through. Something else noticeable from the side are the enormous front brakes. The rotors nearly fill up the wheels, and the calipers look really beefy. The five-spoke wheels on this prototype will be replaced by GP-signature four-spoke wheels as revealed by teaser shots. The back of the GP looks about how we would imagine it. The split rear wing is roughly the same shape as the concept's, but a little narrower. The bumper has a big diffuser area that doesn't necessarily look functional, but should at least look cool. The rear exhaust tips look bigger than normal Mini John Cooper Works models. The Mini GP will go into production in 2020. Only 3,000 examples will be built. We suspect the GP will use the same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine as the BMW X2 35i, which makes 306 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Coupled with weight savings, possibly involving a rear seat deletion, and upgraded suspension, and this should be a shockingly fast Mini. Related Video:

Guerlain Chicherit going for world record for longest car jump

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Does the name Guerlain Chicherit ring any bells? It definitely should if you're into competitive skiing, as he was crowned world champion in off-trail freeriding four times. But he's also a rally driver, winning the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup in 2009 and even a stage of the Dakar Rally the following year. What really set him apart, though, was when he back-flipped a Mini Countryman rally car to set a world record last year. And now he's after another.
This time he's going after the world record for the longest ramp jump in a car. The record currently belongs to Tanner Foust at 332 feet, but Chicherit plans to break it by a good thirty more with a targeted distance of 360 feet.
He'll be using the Mini once again, sponsored by Monster Energy and Toyo Tires, and specially modified for the endeavor which he plans to undertake this Sunday under the auspices of Guinness World Record officials. We'll be watching to see how it all goes down.
