That being said, you can go through the aftermarket and get all the power of the JCW (and more) for a much lower price. The Cooper S is a far cry from the most reliable ride in the world too. Mine had chronic cooling problems and I know plenty of people who have gone through supercharger after supercharger on bone stock cars..
What year / how long did you own the Cooper Duncan?
