Just picked up my first MINI (JCW WC50) over the Halloween weekend! Been driving around all weekend in the cool crisp fall weather. Aside from some minor criticisms, I love this car!
Herk thats rock solid. Love the black with white stripes. Looks sharp with the calipers!
We picked up ours on Halloween. Nice to be treated!
That's actually Connaught Green, the only color the WC50 was available in. It's a phenomenal color, imho, and the process of getting that color on the WC50 is _very_ cool.
Saw a near duplicate in the showroom last summer at Patrick Mini outside of Chicago. We had my wife's '09 Cooper in for service and I spent a good portion of the wait sitting in the WC50. The Connaught Green is a beautiful color, particularly with the white roof and bonnet stripes. My jaw dropped when I saw the sticker.......but boy is that a nice looking Mini!
Thanks for all the great comments! The look and feel of this car blew me away when I first saw it. This combination of details really makes the WC50 feel extra special. I like knowing that there are only 49 other WC50s in the entire country. I hope it will become a true collector's car.
