Just thought I'd let you know that if you have a spare 33K burning a hole in your pocket then Grassicks, Perth have a 50th Ann. JCW in the showroom. As the salesman said, we haven't paid for it (big smile on his face). Obviously doesn't expect it to shift sometime soon.
there is one at lloyds and DP as well i have seen
New sig coming soon
Yeah mini first said that they had sold them all but they are cropping up for sale at dealerships.
Anyone get to see what number is at Lloyds and Grassicks?

Iif I had a 'spare' 33K, I'd have a much, much faster G3 ELF (and about £20K left over!). Maybe a wee 2nd hand Porsche Cayman S or a '32 Deuce Coupe with a Chevy V8.....
Don't get me wrong, the JCW 50 is a lovely motor, but I personally couldn't justify that sort of money for any MINI, even if they had seen fit to put JCW Recaros in it - which they didn't. Why didn't MINI make a proper R56 successor to the GP? A more extreme 'RS 56 Lightweight' stripped-out version (no Air Con and all that nonsense) with Recaros, all the right suspension and 4-Pot braking bits, with the trick LSD and in colours like bright orange and black with 250bhp, limited to 500 units and priced at about £25K. Now THAT would be interesting... Nice alternative to the JCW which is fab, but still trying to be everything to everybody.

Well said Elfman. Sadly MINI are more interested in making money than a lightweight MINI. Would be great if they done a "track pack" for the JCW with better discs, pads, the recaros, harnesses and the likes
