We are pleased to have our Mini Cooper JCW R53 race car for sale. This car is a piece of Mini history - it was built by Tony Franks at John Cooper Works Garages in 2006 as the first of the new shape cars to be worked on by JCW Garages, to prove to BMW just how good they could make the R53 - JCW Garages built this car specifically for the Dubai 24hr which it participated in in 2007, completing the race successfully, after significant testing at the Nurburgring. The rest, as they say, is history...
Since then the car was used in UK club motorsport until we purchased this historic car in 2016, racing it with great success in the 750MC Club Enduro and Roadsports series, picking up race wins. Since purchasing the car, we have overhauled it with the interior being completely stripped and repainted, an updated seat and belts fitted, and all the usual checks and fluid, bearings and filters changed.
The full car spec is as follows:
Mini 1.6 litre inline 4 Cooper S engine with JCW upgrades, custom map, thick walled block, ARP rod bolts, upgraded ignition system, lightweight flywheel and clutch, custom air induction system and upgraded engine mounts
