| Say it ain't so! |

| I will be sltted for this, but the price is a big issue in more way's than one. They produced very good kit's but at a very costly price. You could say this price included warranty as it did not affect your Manufacturer warranty. But as for the closing of the garage, this is a great shame. ![]() |

Far from surprised! whos decision was it to close the branch - BMW or JCW ? Every brand needs it's HQ garage - does this mean that JCW is now 'just' a brand manufactured by BMW. Have we lost the heritage? Not sure who was responsible for the R&D, Marketing and Sales of the JCW conversions, but they really messed up big time. How come small conversions companies can sell better for less, but it takes a company like JCW/BMW to develop something basic at such a high cost. Very bad planning. Not like it's new territory or anything. Oh well. such is life hey. ![]() Too many mods to list, PM me if the cat needs killing... |

| John Cooper Works shutting for good..... Just confirmed it with a garage contact. Hard to believe this can just end after years and years of heritage. Its not just a dealership closing, its the end of the line quite probably for the true brand. The move of the 'kit' to the production line seems to have been the final nail in the coffin. The question we should have been asking all along is "Does the move of the 'Works' conversion to a standard production line actually invalidate the whole idea of it being a 'Works' kit...???" In retrospect, I think the answer to that is yes. Sad news to both the New and Classic Mini scene..... I suggest a 'protest' run down to Worthing..... blockade action. Burn some sheep, close the ports..... |
