A special-edition JCW celebrates Cooper’s 60 years of presence

KUALA LUMPUR: John Cooper, the owner of the Cooper Car Company, realised the sporting potential of its cars 60 years ago. The Cooper-fettled Minis were winning all the races and rallies making their presence loud and clear. In the current situation all the Mini models rolling off the production line get a Cooper badge of some description. That is the impact and importance of the Cooper name.

Cooper’s 60th anniversary celebration

Coming back to Cooper’s 60th anniversary celebration, MINI has introduced a special-edition JCW. Limited to only 740 units, of which 60 will go to Britain, it is offered in both manual and automatic options. The former is priced at £33,800 (approx. RM195k), while the latter retails for £35,500 (approx. RM205k).

What powers the special-edition JCW?

Nothing surprises under the hood here, as like the normal JCW, this one too is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol mill that pumps out a maximum power of 228 bhp.

With these numbers, the vehicle can complete a century sprint in over six seconds and it attains a top speed of 246 kmph.

Talking about the special-edition’s aesthetics, each unit is finished in ‘Rebel Green’ hue with white contrasting mirrors, roof, and door handles. There are also thick white stripes on the hood.

Further asserting its 60-years of amazing presence, Mini has placed several momentos all over, like the number 74 on the doors and bonnet reminiscent of its first win, won by Snetterton Lombank Trophy. Also present are several retro Cooper and Mini logos scattered across the car's body, both inside and out.
