Hi folks, about to start looking at some in dealerships etc, but does no harm to see if anyone on here was thinking of selling up.
Time to replace my clubman SD

Good luck in your hunt especially for a JCW as they’re hard to come by just now. There’s a few selling up on the forums so you might be in luck.
One of the boys at our office is selling up if you’re interested it’s silver white with a red roof and fully loaded with launch control and it parks itself lol.

Have a look at Sacha Allen on FB he’s got a 210 for sale with pro exhaust !

Harry fairbairn had 2 210’s, a white silver demo and my wife’s thunder grey don’t know if they still have them
Cheers, if you can send me details of it, that would be great!Quote:

Don't know your preferred spec, colour etc, but John Clark had about 6 JCWs last week.
Ill check their website and see what's there. I have mainly been using AutoTrader so far.Quote:

To get what I want, ill prob need to buy from England.
Test drove two at HF in Giffnock yesterday, but feel pricing was a bit high for condition / spec list when compared to other dealers. Very helpful team in there though.

That’ll be my old car they’re talking about, it’s in Kirkcaldy at the HF Garage.

Thanks for that, a nice car and well priced but not quite what I'm after.
Found a car i like in terms of spec, but its only a cooper S. If im going to give up my clubman for a hatch, i think i want a JCW!
Could always up the power and get a pro exhaust, but wont have same brakes and credentials as a JCW.
Its a tough call

^^^ don’t be put off by its only an S. I’ve got “only an S” and yes it’s not a JCW but I prefer it as it’s being changed to the way that I wanted it. Yes it’s had a few pounds spent on it here and there but at first glance could you tell it’s an S I’m not so sure and will it keep up with a JCW well I’m saying nothing lol ...Quote:

As for the pro exhaust ... Ask anyone if they’ve got one would they swap it back for the standard?

You make a lot of good points, and i agree, shouldn't rule it out based on it just being an S or otherwise. I've decided to go down for a test drive after work, as when i saw it last time, it was 5 cars deep on the forecourt and they couldn't get it out easilyQuote:

Thanks for that.
Drove the S today, nice car but felt that it didnt have the low down pull that the jcw had. Its not a no, but i might consider a remap and pro exhaust for it.
Lots of thinking to do...

Lacking in low down?Quote:

Maybe lacking isn't the word as it definitely wasn't slow, and didn't feel flat over 5k either (not that i had much opportunity)Quote:

For me having an r56S the f56 S didn't feel faster you could feel a big difference in gear like over taking was no issue it was quite happy to get on boost and go(the benefit of the 2L being able to spool the turbo much faster). Haven't driven a 210 or Jcw but going by people's reviews the tune that they get certainly seems to waken up the engine.Quote:

Just my tuppence worth.
Everyone's bum dyno is different

6 month older than you are looking for but this seems like a super clean challenge 210 and has all of the Jcw pro parts and being the challenge has all of the carbon accents as well
I just found a great car on Auto Trader.

Works 210 for me gives all the fun of a JCW without the same costs as a JCW and as it’s a 210 don’t need to change exhaust that you would need to do on a JCW as the standard JCW exhaust just isn’t as much fun. Megan’s 210 kept up with JCWs all day long and even beat a certain Blue JCW
...most of us did.Quote:

Good luck but sometimes you’ve got to travel to get what you want.
Oh it's an auto you're after. Never noticed pefore does the cooper S not get sports pedals. The Jcw must get metals pedals yeah?
I went out to buy an F56 S and enjoyed the test drive, the dealer then asked would I like to drive the F56 JCW, which I did, loved it, with the deal I got the cost was very similar to buy both cars

If you are considering this car make sure you ask for the works 210 badges which are missing.Quote:

Sounds like the best plan if the cost is similarQuote:

You'll love the 210!! In my opinion it's the best F56 you can get [emoji14] but I'm a little biased.
Can't wait, I'm flying down tomorrow morning to drive it back up. It will be an early start!
