Seen today outside JC garages, New Works 'S'. Believed owned by member of Cooper family, this is one of the first Works 'S' on the road.

200bhp, upgrade cost £3750. Straight from the horses mouth!!

Picture quality poor as the sun was going down, sorry.

Pictures are a pre-production run car, some changes may occur after launch. Didn't drive it but sounds good.

Tonyt3 · Feb 21st, 2003, 05:58 PM

OK, I'll admit it. its a fake!! Had you all going there though!!

LuckyRVA · Feb 21st, 2003, 06:04 PM

What so it's a fake then?

Why post it? Is it yours?

Milquetoast · Feb 21st, 2003, 06:45 PM

Hilarious

I dumped it in here cause it's a waste of space. Didn't bother with a link cause no one would care. Feel free to delete it.

Dom · Feb 21st, 2003, 10:24 PM

he sent me a pm asking me to phone him about removing something from mini2 of his. Didn't really wanna phone him though, so I just ignored it

Might have been about this...

i dont get it...whats fake about it?? i got pics of the works S..and it looks the same

monsta · Feb 22nd, 2003, 10:44 AM

whats going on with that London to Brighton sticker as well? the S wasn't even launched before last years run was it??

AidenL · Feb 22nd, 2003, 10:52 AM

Maybe thats a real works S and there is some dis-information at work here ??

M.2 · Feb 22nd, 2003, 11:04 PM

I did phone him, to respond to his URGENT appeal

It is not a fake, he posted that it was a fake because he got into trouble for posting the pic. however i was unable to delete it.

I think we need to keep an eye on this type of thing - I obviously have a close and frequent contact with all at JCW and I can tell you there have been one or two occassions regarding photos that they have been VERY dis-pleased about

MINI2 wont do itself any favours by posting so called 'spy' shots of Works cars

HAving said that I havn't ever mentioned before because JCW have a login here and if they want to complain they know how to do it

Minty · Feb 23rd, 2003, 04:57 PM

i thought it had been released?? i got photos of it at the Mallory meet.

LMB · Feb 23rd, 2003, 06:42 PM

Even if it is real, you can't see much from the pic anyhow.

It's up to individuals what they want to post on here, if they post images of John Cooper Works cars, then that's between JCW and the individual, we have no favours from JCW, so I don't know why we should be any more careful with them than anyone else.

I'm more than happy for BMW/MINI spy shots to be posted, in fact some our early scoops on the MINI from 'inside' sources where what helped this site get it's early reputation.

So as for not doing ourselves any favours, I'm not sure what you mean, but they (JCW) certainly don't do us any favours! If they let photo's be taken, then they're almost certain to end up on here some way or another!

Dom · Feb 23rd, 2003, 08:12 PM

indeed... they even had the works S out at goodwood last year!!!

AidenL · Feb 23rd, 2003, 08:16 PM

A contact of mine overe here was at JCW 2 weeks ago, saw 2 works Ss(sic) sitting out in the open.........no effort at concealment really, so they can't really blame anyone for a few sneaky shots and peeks ?

Obviously I have a different opinion of how I would like MINI2 to be perceived by the big wide world -

Paul · Feb 23rd, 2003, 09:01 PM

JCW aren't the big wide world.

Genuine photo's are good, fakes are bad.

For example I would never go down the AutoExpress and Co. route of publishing regular fakes and photoshop jobs to hype up anything, but if people are happy to snap and share images, I'm more than happy for them to do so.

I've had a lot of stuff over time I would never publish in the news or anywhere else because I have been told it's sensitive, but individuals who've not been told to publish photo's of things available to all to see, well I don't have an issue if they want to do this.
