I'm off to place a deposit today (I'd dithered about buying a Cooper D instead, but my old MCS is so much more fun I know I'd not be happy with a D. And why buy another S when I could have a JCW instead?).
My dealer is similarly in the dark about what the final spec for the JCW will be; I gather that we'll get the hi-fi, anthracite headlining and aircon as standard in addition to the engine and brake mods, but that suspension and interior changes will all be upgrades. I know that I'll want the alcantara wheel, and would cheerfully take the JCW Recaros so long as nobody expects me to pay 2 grand for them! I'm already a little bit battered from having decided on teh satnav (that's not worth anything like the cost, either, but I'll pay to get rid of the nasty stereo controls in the speedo). |
