Cooper S JCW - Verifying it is a JCW

[SLacKer]

Hi

Looking at a Sep 2004 JCW which has the right badges, airbox and the certificate but no receipt for the work carried out by JCG. Is there a register somewhere that stores the works number and what car it was fitted to?

I am guessing the answer is no but dealer has no receipt for the £3K+ spent on the works modifications 210BHP as they were not factory fit until July 05 so original invoice shows base car and options.

Guess I am just a bit paranoid....

Regards

It has the certificate, that's enough isnt it?

[SLacKer]

Well I could fake the certificate so no.

Call up Mini Customer Services and quote the serial number on the engine plaque. Thats enough for them to verify it.

mate if you have driven a normal cooper s and you are trying a works, you will notice the difference quite easily to be fair.

PDavison.

I have not bought one yet.

I had put a deposit down on one but the sale fell through as the car was damaged the day before pickup.

I have seen yours advertised however, the mileage is too high for me.

Many Thanks

I bought it anyway................

The current owner has the Cylinder Head and supercharger so I will keep that. I am also getting all the history from the dealer network.

I owned a Cooper S 3.5 years back but since then have been driving an SLK32 AMG so when I drove the Cooper S JCW I thought it was a bit slow but of course I am comparing it to the AMG.

Which one did you buy?

[SLacKer]

I will post some photos when I get it. 2004 54 plate Cooper S JCW, Hyper Blue, Sat Nav, PDC, Electric Fold Mirrors, Visibility Pack basically everything except the panoramic which I am not interested in having had one in the past and never used it.

It will be the basis of a number of modifications namely the JCW aero kit, seats, wheels, spot lights and various other minor tweaks.

My previous one was this
