Picked up my World Championship 50 on Friday! Incredible condition with only 15,000 miles on the odometer!! I am very excited to have a piece of MINI/Motoring history. This a dream come true for me. Enjoy the photos.....

 

Very nice...love the lower spoiler under the grille...Is that OEM?

 

Up next is a GP

 

1 of 50, wow. I have seen pictures of the english model, yours have the red trim as well?

 

Yes the spoiler is OEM. This is a 100% original car with no modifications. The owner of the dealership had it in his personal collection of cars.

 

Yes it does have the red trim, lots of carbon fiber on the dash and the John Cooper dash badge as well.

 

Again congrats on such a rare MINI. The rear diffuser and trunk grip are carbon fiber and so is the hood scoop. The rare part is that CF rear diffuser/ lower spoiler part. I have only seen those on the WC50 and I have seen a bunch of MINIs in person since 2004. I love that connaught green also as that was the offered on that car only.

 

This thing is cross-posted into four or five forum categories. We get it: you scored a sweet ride.

 

Thank you in in that you share my enthusiasm for this car. That means a lot to me. Your knowledge is also helpful in bringing out some of the points that differentiate it from others. Thanks again.

 

Someone is a little jealous. Save your drama for your mamma and move over.

 

Welcome.

 

Very nice and rare Mini. Just from the one picture, it looks to have an awesome interior.

I find is very odd that the front slitter on yours appears to be the same as the one on mine but yours is two piece with a split in the center. Mine is 3 pieces with two splits at the brake duct inlets.

 

It does have the one split.... Interesting.

 

There are two iterations of the JCW aerokit front bumper. First generation has one split, and the second generation has two splits. Not sure exactly when they switched over but my 2013 JCW has the two splits too. Potentially has to do with the brake duct inlets? They were introduced in the LCI.

 

Yep that's the factory Aero II body kit. The 3/2012+ has the double split. And the Aero I has less aggressive front lips, single split, and no brake ducts.

More info here on the JCW body kits. We have sold a bunch of them so it was easy to figure out once you have seen them all in person.

Wowsers! Great looking car, I have been looking for one for a couple of years.


I figure if I can have 2 MC40s why not add a WC50? So hard to find.


Yea, a little jealous, but that is just car envy.


Motor On!

 

Thank you brother! I'm truly excited.

Love yours as well! Very sharp MINI's.

Likewise ..... Motor on!
