I'm sure you can, contact John Cooper Works, Richard de Jong is your man (spelling?!) email sales@johncooper.co.uk

I doubt it will be that much....if a fully specced S is around the 18.5k mark, and even if the works kit is 3.5k, thats only £22k in total....

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 17th, 2002, 06:33 AM

well im proberly going to put a deposit down regarless of the price, i'll only worry about that when i see the monthly repayments, but what the hell you only live once!!!

Does anyone know anything else about the works kit?

I mean, in that picture i saw...can't remember where, the Cooper S works had 4 exhaust pipes which looked pretty neat, but does this mean that the centre exit exhaust will be moved?

The picture you saw was a spy shot of a pre-production car, the spec has not been finalised for the S Works and no official pictures have been released. Until we hear something official, everything is just speculation.

If there are four pipes then it is likely that the center one will be moved, other wise there wouldn't be four pipes would there?!!

you could have two in the middle, then single ones either side....

What, and that would look good ??

Tau · Apr 17th, 2002, 08:13 AM

didn't say it would look good, just said thats what they could do...

two pairs either side would be best, just like that picture...

fair enough but we don't know for sure until they launch officially. They could end up just doing a totally different twin pipe to replace the exisiting.

Perhaps they'll run them down the side of the body and take out the silencers....

and maybe even put flames down the side....

I don't know if you will be able to get a works S before the cooper S. I think there are a fari few people with deposits down for the work S. I'd suggest giving Richard at JCG a ring.

I would guess a fully loaded Works S would be around the £22K mark.

I'd like to try and keep mine below £20K. Third on the list so my works S should be out to play in September

.....what about availability in the US for the Cooper S Works...or will it just be a UK car?

LMB · Apr 21st, 2002, 07:26 AM

I want a Works Cooper S

The prospect of owning a Mini that has 200+BHP under the bonnet is just way too tempting.

If only they could resolve the problem of it invalidating TLC I would be there like a shot.
