Moderator: Sorry....Please post in the JCW 2009+ slot.

My wife and I own a 2013 JCW Roadster. Many folks we have spoken to about this car have commented on them being "rare". This sparked my curiosity to find out just how many of these cars might have been sold in the USA for that model year. I was unable to find that info at one source but by combining the data discovered on two different web sites I think a pretty good estimate can be made.
For 2013 the "Library of Motoring" lists total USA market sales of 66,502 units for all model Minis. Now, going over to gtcarlot.com, listed under 2013 Mini Cooper Data, Info and Specs, a breakdown in percentage is given for each 2013 model of Mini sold in the USA. Listed for the JCW Roadster is 0.4%, which tells me, 0.4% of 66,502 is 266 units. That means 1/2 as many JCW Mini Roadsters were sold in the USA for model year 2013 compared to GP2's, which was 0.8%. That finding was a surprise to me.
Since gtcarlot.com is using percentages in their data, it would be fair to say that these conclusions should be viewed as estimates...but should still be in the ballpark.
Any comments about this would be welcome.
Thanks
