I'm smitten......













Good day all - I am the new care taker / crazed owner of this 06 JCW in British Racing with only 16,000 miles on the clock. This is my 2nd R53 (1rst JCW) and I cant tell you how this car has BLOWN ME AWAY.
I looked for quite sometime for a low milage R53 JCW but never expected to stumble across this one. Its a special car that I am so pleased to see in my garage!!!
Thought I'd say hello.....

Thanks! The only real sad part is that I've only had it for 2 weeks but its time to put it to bed for the winter. I'll have to stare at it, pet it, sit in it, dust it etc in my garage until winter is over......torture.

Hi and welcome to the NAM family! Congrats on your purchase!
It is a great looking auto and unusual interior color scheme. I always like the BRG color and was the color of my first Mini R53 S. With only those low miles, it should last you way into the future. I feel the 06 R53 JCW is the best of what Mini put out! I have an 06 R53 JCW too!
Look into the gen 1 area here, for very good information, to help you prepare your Mini, for the next season!
Here is my first Mini: Sold, but not forgotten!

05 with stripes and chrono pack.

Welcome and Congrats as that is great. I run those same BBS wheels on my GP1. And that carbon dash now is super rare.

You’ve found a really nicely optioned R53 JCW, and and tastefully updated too. Enjoy!
