Hmmmm.. why does this look so familiar? First wash pre tint Post tint First Tail of the dragon trip with daughter Sunrise on top of the dragon Putting her to bed after day of dragon running. Fresh wax
Ohhh, same color scheme, but you're is the S model! Nice ! Great pictures. I haven't taken any really good pics of mine yet, but I DID finish replacing the clutch earlier today. Got to test it out around town and then drove it out the 50+ miles to work. What a fun little car! My third Mini, and I'm excited to be back into one, and double excited to have a non-turbo model. I wanted the simplicity and MPG that comes with a "justa".
So far, absolutely loving it! Your car looks great, too. Black is my favorite color of car, and silver or metallic gray are a tie for my second favorite. Getting black AND silver? That's like the bees knees there!
Love it (and the stickers). What suspension do you have again?
Thanks I'm probably going to remove the red "Clubman' stickers on the sides. They don't really go with my theme. The little racer dude, he's not going anywhere https://www.blipshift.com/products/l...erdude-sticker
I'm riding on Megan Racing Euro 2 coil overs. Ride height is roughly 12-3/4" front, and 12-5/8" rear. Winter tires are 215/45-17 Firestone Winterforce 2.
Let's see if this works Outside the dealer showroom getting it ready for it's new number plates but a broken front spring takes priority !!
I seem to have lots of pictures of ISTA D screenshots, but precious little in the way of the car itself, probably a good thing at the moment as the repair jobs have taken priority over detailing !
For those wondering the Soho special edition was only available in White Silver, and were fitted with black star bullet 17" wheels.
Unlike both the Hampton and the Bond Street model, the interior trim was available in all levels, and not restricted to lounge leather, an upgrade I'm planning to do quite soon.
The current seats are half leather sport in black, I'd be quite happy to leave them as is, but my wife wants leather :0)
I'll update with more pictures as I slowly bring the little lad back to a condition I'll be happy with
After putting right many of the mechanical bodges and poor maintenance, I've started on the interior with a view to making the Soho a nicer place to be.
First of all I removed the seats, the centre console, and the cubby containing the combox.
Then it was vacuumed out, and some fairly strong detergent in a bucket to clean off some of the dubious substances lurking in hidden places.
I then decided to have a go at the seats themselves, I felt they were way beyond the stage where a wet vac would do any good, so I made the call to strip off the covers for a bit of TLC.
So before I started, the seats looked like this.........
So although I quite like the Sport seats, I definitely didn't much care for the condition they were in...
Hopefully once I've finished reassembling them, they will cheer the cabin up somewhat!!
I was experimenting with these, and given the poor state they were in, I thought the risk worthwhile ( I placed the covers in a domestic washing machine after removing them from the foam )
So I can confirm there are 25 hog rings in the rear seat cushion, and 21 in each front seat cushion, and the leather sections survived a 40 degree C wash !!
2014 Clubman with a special option... A rare option - the JCW factory seats! How happy was I when I bought this Clubman for my Dad and saw this, I bet there wasn't too many with this option on a Cooper Clubman.
Thanks "njaremka",
When I saw this I knew this had to be super rare, I felt like you and never saw the Recaro package in a Justa Clubbie. It looks like it has the premium package, cold weather and the Recaro seat option on it, so it has the sunroof. It has really grown on me and glad I found it for my Dad. Now I'm curious, I wonder how many (Justa) Cooper Clubbies had the Recaros, has to be super low numbers? Anyone out there seen any others?

They look great in there, but are they not R56 seats? looking at the back seat it would appear that way?
I've not seen an R55 that is a four seat model, at least not in the UK.

WOW! Crazy find.
There can't be more than a handful of Coopers of any bodystyle with those seats. They were a $3k option on the Cooper, if I remember correctly, which would be a crazy choice to put on a ~$24k-ish Cooper.
I mean, it would be about the same cost to a Cooper S. I get it, as someone who has purposely bought Coopers instead of Cooper S for special colors, etc., but it had to be a really rare decision to buy a Cooper with $3k seats.
