Agreed, sounds like nice deal. Seller was very responsive and honest. I'm not pursuing further, so if it helps anyone here's some additional info:
VIN WMWRE33435TD94463
He has original window sticker.
Hyper Blue, roof in body color, black leatherette interior. Not a factory JCW. Has Cockpit chrono, chrome line interior, interior surfaces painted in exterior color, sunroof, xenons, foglights, OBC, HK sound, more.
CA car until 2018 when owner moved it to LA. "Front fascia" was replaced after running over an animal. Recent service, including replaced power steering under recall, motor mounts, oil changed in trans and supercharger. Windshield has crack from a rock hit. Interior is said to be like new.
Worth pursuing if you are looking.

Yes I was able to connect with him. I almost bought it but I’m looking for something a little nicer with lower miles. I told my friend about the car and I’m almost positive he bought it today. Thanks for all of the help so far everyone. Keep sending what you find!
Wow, good call - $19,500 sold price. All-in with fees, a little over $20K.
These prices are really moving up.
Wish it meant I won a prize lol. I thought it would do just a little better if it was listed from owner vs. dealer. Prices are definitely on a slow climb, and I think better moving forward, seems like they’ll only get harder to find, especially in pristine condition.

License, CA-8NXE113, check shows this MC40 as VIN: WMWRE33444TD87388
I'm maxed out for the day on Mdecoder tho. HMM...
Great price if as it seems and legit.
.
last time I saw this car for sale (Sept 2020) it was listed as having 132000 miles and salvage title. No idea if this ad is legit or a copy of a prior ad by a scammer.
also keep in mind the VIN won’t tell you anything about it being an MC40 or not.

Nice find! Calling @krawzdogg - your prize is waiting.

hmm...🤔 It is nice...anthracite headliner too! Definitely going to need a new drivers seat, bolster is worn pretty bad. No aero kit and miles are high.
The auto 1st gen R52 "JCW" is interesting as I don't think they were ever available in the US , even dealer installed. Pretty sure the issue was the JCW engine/tune in combo with the auto transmission not being certified for US emissions.
The VIN decoder doesn't list the options for a factory JCW or an LSD, but from the pics it looks like it has a lot of JCW options though like the 210hp kit and badges, shift light, strut tower bar, real JCW brakes (not R56 replicas), JCW 18" wheels, and possibly a JCW carbon hood scoop. I wonder if it also has the JCW suspension.
Still might be a good buy depending on what's wrong with it and on price negotiations if you don't drive a stick, or you are looking for a fun commuter, JCW parts, or a manual conversion project
Definitely would want to be able to do your own work since the ad includes "NOTE: This is a mechanic special...a really cool little car...needs engine work and/or a new engine! Still runs and drives but may blow up at any moment! Best to tow away! :-)"

From what I remember, the only way to have a “JCW” automatic would be to buy a Cooper S auto and a dealer installed JCW kit, but I seem to remember that (most) dealers would not install the JCW kit on the automatic due to warranty issues aka MINIUSA would not back the warranty of the JCW kit since that part is not “supposed” to be on an automatic.
Like you mentioned, I also remember the software / emissions regulations reason being given.
Theoretically, everything should work except that I don’t think it is possible to have an Automatic and LSD.
this one is local to me and I know someone who was getting prices on a key with plans to buy it....need to check back with him to see how that worked out.
my gut says there is more to this story. Still a BEP convertible is pretty rare.

And... Yet another 2006 Factory JCW.... Finding them is not too hard out there.
