2009 Mini Cooper Clubman John Cooper Works!

You have to see this car! I bought it for a tow vehicle behind my RV and absolutely fell in love with it. They are fast fast fast, have Brembo brakes and tons of room. If you are comparing a regular Mini, an S and a John Cooper Works...don't, the others don't hold a candle to the JCW, these things are just awesome and a riot to drive! Why am I selling it you ask, I had to sell my RV so now I dont need it.

Here are a few details from a write up I found: 

The Specs
Under the hood, you'll find what is essentially the same 1.6-liter engine that powers the Cooper S—this time with a revised cylinder head, a bigger turbocharger and slightly different intake plumbing. According to Mini, the exhaust valves have a slightly thinner back cut than those of the Cooper S. Subtle though the changes may seem, they're enough to get the car to 60 mph in a claimed 6.2 seconds (6.5 for the four-door Clubman), and to a top speed of 148 mph. 

The turbocharger is essentially the same Borg Warner unit found on the Cooper S but with a slightly bigger exhaust housing. Peak boost of 11.6 psi (14.5 psi in overboost) is available at 1850 rpm, as compared with 1600 rpm in the Cooper S. An enlarged catalytic converter and downpipe help evacuate exhaust gases into an aggressive-looking cat-back exhaust. The revised system nets 207 hp at 6000 rpm, with 192 ft.-lb. of torque available from 1850 to 5600 rpm—not too bad from a mere 1.6 liters. Gas mileage suffers a little bit, but the JCW still offers econobox thrift, at 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. That's just 1 mpg less than the 175 hp Cooper S. 

The JCW gets all that increased power to the ground by way of a beefier clutch, a slightly modified transmission and BMW's Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC). This device slows the spinning wheel(s) through the brakes, like a more refined version of traction control, and sends more power to the wheel with traction. It's a lot like a limited-slip differential, but without the torque-steer. 

Inside, things are standard Cooper S fare: The car comes with grippy cloth seats as well as standard piano-black dash trim and an anthracite headliner. The John Cooper Works will be offered in the same array of paint colors as the Cooper S. 

The Drive
Peak power may arrive a bit later than on the Cooper S, but you'll never notice. Turbo boost seems to be available any time you need it. And in the lower gears, it's more than enough. It's an absolute blast, and you hot-shoe around town completely guilt-free—knowing even the hottest Mini of them all still sips fuel. 

Electric steering usually guarantees there will be precious little information transmitted to the driver about what those front tires are doing. But that's simply not the case here. The steering is quick and direct, with the weighting you might expect from the BMW-owned company. The rack makes a perfect companion to the short throw shifter, which offers neat rifle-bolt snicks into each gear. Throw the shifter down a couple gears for a corner, and the delightfully raucous exhaust will offer the occasional pop and gurgle. It's a great sound that's reminiscent of race-equipped Minis of the 1960s. 

The only thing we might find cause to complain about is the highway ride. It's no stiffer than a Cooper S, mind you, as they share the same suspension, and both cars have run-flat tires (ours was equipped with Continental ContiSport Contact 3 rubber in 205/45R17 sizing; production cars will be shod with Dunlop SP Sport tires in the same size). But we've found even the Cooper S is a bit stiff on California freeways. The optional dealer-installed John Cooper Works suspension stiffens things up further and lowers the car by 10mm for the more hardcore. But you may want to try the car as it comes from the factory first—stiffer is not always better. JCW cars will feature 12.4-in., four-piston Brembo brakes up front, with 11-in. brakes out back. As one might imagine, pedal feel and stopping power from this Brembo setup is vastly improved over the Cooper S. 

The Bottom Line
The Mini Cooper JCW may just be the most economical way to go fast in these days of $4-a-gallon gasoline. That is, if you can get over the sticker shock­: The JCW starts at $29,200, but a decked-out Clubman can run you in excess of $42,000. That, friends, is not cheap. But the upshot is you will have a lot of fun as a member of this very exclusive club




The car is perfect however does have a rebuilt title. The previous owner rear-ended someone but as to why the insurance company totaled it is a mystery...it just was not THAT hurt. It was repaired using all factory parts at the Larry Miller Collision Center here in SLC Utah and I have all the photos/details of what was done. 

It has all brand new tires and only minor scuffs on the rims. The flat black decals mixed with the carbon fiber JCW badges, hood scoop, mirror and door handles look terrific, its most certainly a one off Mini. NADA says its worth $22,650 but I am taking off some for the branded title but again, the car is perfect...and the tow hook cover in the front bumper, it is still coming from the dealer.

If you are local feel free to come and see it.

Paul McCartney's Aston sells for $1.8M; Ringo Starr's old Mini goes to a Spice Girl

Thu, Dec 7 2017

The Bonhams Bond Street auction in London was the place to be for fans of both The Beatles and automobiles as two cars once owned by former members of the band were up for auction. The first was an Aston Martin DB5 owned by Paul McCartney, and the second was a Mini Cooper owned by Ringo Starr. Both went for substantial sums, and the Mini went to an interesting owner. The Aston brought the big bucks, or pounds, since it was a British auction. The final price with premium was barely over $1.8 million, which fell smack in the middle of Bonham's estimate. It's an impressive price on its own, but more so when compared with its sale back in 2012. Back then it was painted in the same blue it had originally, and it only sold for $495,000, making this new sale more than three times higher. View 22 Photos The Mini went for much less, at just under $137,000 with premium. But the car went to an interesting owner, Geri Horner, nee Hollowell, whom you may know better as Ginger Spice of the Spice Girls. The Mini itself is interesting, too. Each of The Beatles owned a classic Mini at some point, but Ringo Starr's was unique because the flip-down tailgate was converted to a modern-style lift-up hatch incorporating the rear window. Reportedly the reason was so Starr could easily fit his drum kit in the back. It also featured a custom grille, driving lights, hood vents, and soft sunroof among other things. It even appeared on " Top Gear" in 2001. And before we forget, McCartney's DB5 also has " Top Gear" history in that it was owned by former host, Chris Evans.

Best Convertibles for 2022

Thu, Jun 30 2022

The past decade has not been kind to the drop-top enthusiast. No matter which dealer you walk into, convertible models have been biting the dust left and right. Nissan Z? Audi TT? Buick Cascada? Volkswagen Eos? All gone. Remember the humble Chrysler Sebring/200? Well, you do now. Fortunately, though, the news isn't all bad. There are still plenty of options out there for those who absolutely must have a convertible. Whether you need something to haul behind your retirement cruiser, a performance car that can go toe-to-toe with the best in the world or just something that allows you to sling the roof back after a long day of on-location business meetings before catching the flight back to your everyday hustle and bustle, there's at least one cabriolet out there to suit your needs. Here are our picks and starting prices for the top convertibles in several categories for 2022.  For the frugal open-top lover: 2022 Mini Convertible ($34,650) Let's face it; gas ain't cheap. But open-top motoring doesn't need to be a wallet killer. The Mini is cheap (at least by 2022 standards) and an absolute joy to drive, so there's really no downside here ... except for the roof. Get it?    For the hardtop lover: 2022 Mazda MX-5 RF ($37,260) / 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible ($69,695) The number of hardtop convertibles has seriously dwindled due to weight concerns and the fact that fabric roofs have gotten so quiet, but there are still some options for those who prefer a more coupe-like look with the roof up. Our picks here are the delightfully Targa-like MX-5 Miata RF and literally any Corvette Stingray — even the hardtop has a removable roof!    For long road trips: 2022 Ford Mustang Convertible ($34,100) The first image that comes to mind for many who are told to visualize an American convertible is the classic Ford Mustang. It's not the only drop-top pony car out there, but thanks to the Camaro's tiny trunk, it's much harder to see the USA in a Chevrolet when a drop-top enters the equation. The Mustang has much more cargo space and a much larger opening, which is likely the difference between keeping your bags under lock and key or leaving them exposed in the back seat.    For towing behind an RV: 2022 Jeep Wrangler ($31,590) While many small runabouts make sense for towing behind a motor home (or nestled up inside a fancier one), the Wrangler has a serious advantage when it comes to RVing: it can easily be flat-towed.

The manual transmission in the Mini Cooper is officially dead

Tue, Sep 5 2023

We feared this might be the case after learning all about the latest Mini Cooper, but now it’s confirmed: The manual Mini is dead. Confirmation of the news comes from Mini boss Stefanie Wurst via an interview with Top Gear. “We wonÂ’t have a manual, unfortunately,” Wurst told TG in reference to the new generation of Cooper. Mini revealed its new model last week in the lead-up to the Munich Motor Show, and while the company was happy to share all the details on the electric E and SE, the gas models remained shrouded in a bit of mystery. We know there will be a base and an S model powered by gasoline engines, and now we know that they will be exclusively equipped with automatic transmissions. The elimination of the manual transmission is a tad ironic, given Mini just recently opened a Mini Manual Driving School in California. The point of that school was to teach people how to operate a manual transmission, but now Mini wonÂ’t have any in its lineup come 2025. This news was also foreshadowed a bit by the introduction of the Mini John Cooper Works 1 to 6 Edition earlier this year. Mini made that model as an ode to the manual, and it limited production to just 999 units worldwide. It looks like that special edition is more of a send-off to the manual transmission than anything at this point. As of now, you can still get the manual transmission on the Mini Hardtop and Convertible models, but the 2024 model year will be the end of this generation of Mini, and with it, the end of the manual transmission in the lineup.
