Good choice. Sidewalk and JCW is the best combination. Don't limit yourself on the LOTS, a sidewalk with JCW is also an option especially if you like contrasting interior/exterior colors as LOTS were Astro Black on panther black English lounge leather and non LOTS sidewalk had the toffy/malt brown interior with all kinds of different exterior colors(pepper white, BRG, White Silver, Sparkling silver...)

Good luck with your quest

I came across one of these a number of years ago and neither the listing dealer nor I knew what that bulldog badge was all about. Not particularly wanting another black on black car especially with the JCW exterior package I causally spend lots of time researching that bulldog badge. By the time I had educated myself, I had educated the dealer. The result was that discounted long listed MINI being transferred to another lot and sold in days. Just now I learn it was even more rare than I thought.

Best of luck with your fully informed hunt. Rare is nice.

just saw that this morning. I think there is one for sale down here in Florida, I’ll see if it will pop up for me.

 

it’s been for sale for a while (relisted) price may be negotiable

 

Thanks for the links! I’ve actually seen this one in Michigan in-person already. In my opinion it’s been rode hard and put up wet. The aftermarket wheels, the Carfax report noting minor damage - and in person there’s evidence of issues in the front and in the rear (hidden by the stripes on the hatch). Not trying to put it down, just not the one for me.
