The WC50 at Ralph Schomp is probably the lowest mileage WC50. This was posted 11/17.

Just curious, did it sell? I don’t see an online posting from their website.

Schomp's selling it at the original sticker price. I discussed an offer, but the rep said Schomp was not discounting it.

The US-spec cars did not come from the factory with rear fogs. One or two owners had functioning fogs added (requires switch and significant coding). I added the rear fog lenses to 425 just for the look when it was new.

Got it, thanks Jackmac, there seems to be quite a few other features missing or different from US spec?

I did find this photo. Does this reflect yours? Also the red striped carpets can be purchased at ECS Tuning. They are under 2012 GPS MINI.

MINI USA product planners left out some content to keep the car at just below $40K MSRP. In most (all?) other markets, the cars came fully loaded.

Number 404 is lowered and who knows what else. I thought someone saw it and reported that it was rough.

Yeah, it was reported on the FB WC 50 owner's page. So, since MCSMiami picked up 415, congrats! I'm assuming it checked it well enough given slightly higher mileage?

Would the 1st or last off the line be worth a premium in many years to come ?

I would guess the first - 001 - would be. I believe that one to be in the museum. I would think this one too would command a premium as there were only 50 exported to the US. I don't know about the last one - number 499......

Ours is #007 and was on display at the launch event, MINI United in 2009. Owned by MINI, it then went on to feature in all the UK press road tests..
