Just bought my first cooper. JCW

HEY! Long story but I have just acquired this Mini Cooper JCW last night. I work at a dealership and it was a trade in.

42k miles. And from what I understand it's a limited edition 50 year anniversary edition. This one being labeled 441. I'm not new to cars but I will admit I'm oblivious to mini's. But man I love it already!

I want to post photos. But I only use my Phone for forums. Any help with that?

Thanks guys and gals

Rich

Congrats Rich! The Mini 50th anniversary edition... is that the Camden Edition? If I recall correctly, the Camden edition has a special feature called "mission control" that allows the car to provide audio feedback on various states of your car, including gas level, engine temperature, etc.

Anyway, can't wait to see the pics. I don't think you can attach/post pics via mobile forum. Good luck!

I don't know how to tell if it is or not. There's a document in the glove box that is a certificate of authenticity. Showing that it is 441 of 500. I really need to post pics. I'll work on that now

I can't see the pic, sometimes at work they don't show up. What year is it, and is it a really dark green color with black hood stripes? I think all the Camden Edition cars were the same color (dark green, it has a name). There's actually a separate thread on that car in this forum that pops up here now and then.

Is it dark green? What year? I think the Camden Edition cars were all dark green. There's a thread in this forum about them.

His car is a WC50, not a Camden. The WC50 is a factory JCW with all of the JCW accessories thrown at it. Rare car. Nice find!

There's a thread on this forum for the WC50. It is the dark green car I thought. Supposedly only 50 of these were sold in the US. Nice find!

They renamed "Connaught Green" some other green and reintroduced it to the F56 JCW lineup as an optional color last year. It's almost black. I like it.

I saw this color several times on HT and Coupe with black tops. I don't think it is LE.
