Mini Cooper S JCW 210

This Mini Cooper S JCW (210) is a top-spec, very low-mileage and highly original example with an extensive history file, that’s ready to be used and enjoyed. This Mini was originally supplied by Victoria Mini of Harrogate and first registered on 18th November 2005. As stated on the original the bill of sale, it was specified with a huge number of options, including the much sought-after JCW Tuning Kit, from new. Please see the bottom of the description for the full break-down of the optional extras fitted. 

Our Mini JCW was ordered new by Mrs Fielden in 2005 and remained in her ownership all the way until early 2017, passing to a Mr Winsor, at which point it had completed approx 15k miles. The car was serviced at each interval solely by its supplying dealer until Oct 2017 (17k miles). The car changed hands shortly after and moved to Lancashire with Mr Walker, who had it serviced at Mini Bolton in Sep 2019 at 21k miles. This was to be its final service at a main dealer, with subsequent services being carried out by GS R53 Specialists in 2021 & 2022 (22,091 miles & 22,628 miles respectively) and a brake fluid change at an independent garage in 2023 (22,739 miles). The Mini has had 6 previous owners, each one of which is documented in the large history file. Other recently completed works include: R56 Cooper S front brake upgrade, MTEC drilled and grooved discs, MTEC brake pads, braided brake lines, and new upper and lower engine mounts. The car will be freshly serviced by a specialist and MOT'd for its next owner. 

This car has been in our collection for approximately 15 months and we have driven nearly 7,000 joyous and trouble-free miles in it over this time. Today, the mileage stands at just 29,600 and the Mini's condition reflects that well, with the car being in near-immaculate, unmolested condition throughout. It’s immediately clear from the outset that this Cooper S has never fallen into the wrong hands and has been well cared-for over its 20-year life. The Pepper White paint looks to be all original and is unmarked and dent-free, aside from a few touched-in stone-chips; the black plastics look as-new, as does the brightwork and all of the light lenses. The 17” ‘Web Spoke’ split-rim wheels have avoided over-refurbishment and are in very good order, although some minor corrosion is starting to appear on a couple of the lips, a common occurrence on this style of wheel and only noticeable when up-close. The ‘darkened glass’ is scratch and chip-free and all of the associated rubbers are in perfect condition, including the all-important sunroof seal. The Gravity Black leather interior is also in suitably lovely condition, with only minor creasing/wear on the driver’s upper bolster, one crack in the driver’s side speaker grille (see photos) and absolutely no damage or wear to note elsewhere. The original radio has been replaced by a Bluetooth Alpine unit, however the original is supplied with the car should the owner wish to change it back.

As previously mentioned, the Mini is accompanied by an extensive history file that dates back to the original bill of sale, signed certificates from John Cooper Works, and even the original ‘Mini Passport’. Every bit of work carried out, or part that has been purchased for the car is documented in the file alongside the original bookpack with stamped (10 stamps) service book. As expected, the car drives perfectly with no unwanted noises or sensations and everything works as it should, including the air-conditioning and panoramic sunroof. We feel as though these R53 Minis are a true future-classic and the perfect case-study for retro design, they are obviously huge fun, and the JCW 210 Pack enhances that much further. There aren’t many unmolested, high-spec and low-mileage examples like this one left, certainly a car to keep an eye on for the future. 

The car will be freshly serviced by a specialist and MOT’d prior to hand-over. The Mini is currently based at our studio in Bicester, please contact Greg with any questions, or to arrange a viewing.
