MINI Cooper S Race Car
Built by Tony Franks whilst working for John Cooper Garages, we were advised by Mr Franks that the car was used to prove the JCW concept to MINI and travelled to the Nurburgring for testing. It was built to endurance car spec and raced in the Dubai 24 hr endurance race and has air jacks and other upgrades including higher specification brakes, fully adjustable for rear bias with bespoke anti roll bars front and rear. The cage is extremely high specification multi-point welded and to FIA standard.
