Which is the coolest JCW to retain ..

Planning on listing two of three JCWs on Bring a Trailer .. which is the one to keep long term for collectability and value ?

1. 2006 Pepper white checkmate edition, blue leather/cloth seats, sunroof sport chrono and cold weather package
2. 2006 Astro black black English panther leather, sunroof sport chrono and cold weather package
3. 2008 Sparkling silver sidewalk edition convertible sport chrono and cold weather package

All three are JCW’s and In very good to excellent condition.

Which one do you like more?

I’m a sucker for the convertible… But that Astro Black looks fantastic!

Whatever you do, swap out the lower grille on the Pepper White one for the JCW aero grill. The mishmash of chrome and black is an eyesore.

I figured you would all make it hard on me .. the jury is mixed .. some say keep the Astro black (18,000 miles), others say Pepper White checkmate (45,00 miles) and of course the R52 is so special
