Hexagon Classics are pleased to present this properly special example of the hugely desirable first-generation Mini Cooper S with the John Cooper Works tuning, finished in a sharp and sporty package. This isn’t just any Mini — it’s one of the standout hot hatches of the era. a supercharged 1.6 L Mini Cooper S enhanced with the genuine John Cooper Works tuning kit — producing around 208-210 bhp, transforming the standard Cooper S into a significantly sharper machine with brisk acceleration, a wonderfully raw engine note and a real driver’s-car feel that modern cars often struggle to match.

Thanks to the JCW upgrades including remapped ECU, oil-flowed head, uprated injectors and freer-flowing exhaust this model delivers strong mid-range torque and an engaging 0-62 mph performance that still impresses today.

The R53 platform is famed for its go-kart-like dynamics — tight steering, nimble body control, and an engaging chassis that rewards enthusiastic driving. The R53 JCW is highly sought after among enthusiasts for its authentic performance upgrades, emotional drive and timeless looks. Unlike later turbocharged Minis, the R53’s supercharged engine and simple mechanical feel create a unique character that appeals to purists — making this example an appealing choice for both collectors and drivers alike.
