Looking at these for the girlfriends daily run about.
Black is standard with 96000 on the clock at 4k
Silver has john cooper works kit fully loaded with extras 86000 on the clock at 3.5k

At the moment is 3 for silver 3 for Black personally I like the silver as it's cheaper, stands out more, and has more extras..

What's your choice??

I had a play with a John Cooper Works in the Minx, they do shift!

They are cool little cars. I think you could find one a bit cheaper though. Had a look about a month ago at one but they are to small for me and the miles I do.
I was finding nice coopers at 2.5 to 3k

Yeah ash we have seen loads cheaper but we've got a private plate to go on it but it's got to be 2004 or younger as it's an 04 plate, plus don't want an older car really so for the money we've got its just as old as we want to go. sly wink

All I'd say is get rid of chrome on black one like lights and grill and Jew spec it up smile

They are overpriced shite. Always working on them. Gearbox failure, timing chains go at 100k, electrical faults, chysler neon engine?
My work mates got an 07 plate Cooper s 1.6 turbo( Peugeot engine) it had a timing chain at 10k, it burns 1 litre of oil a week, now its got no compression on cylinder 3. Haven't had chance to look at it.

I've always wanted to put a z20let in one. I've measured it and it would fit. big grin

I like the way they drive but hate how they are built.
