Where did you find the MC40 in San Antonio? I own an MC40 and live in SA.... I have never seen another one around here.

It has everything except the MC40 ****. I have been looking for a bit and it appears to be the least molested one in this area of the country. I paid high retail because I wanted it....
It pains me to see them with bonnet stripes and union jacks on the roof. I understand to each his own, but why buy that one in the first place? Rant over.
I absolutely love the car. It still doesn't stir me the way my classic clubby did, but it will also get me where I'm going comfortably without having to pull over to fiddle with it.

So wait...in terms of the JCW pkg, it was strictly an option for the MC40 just as it was for a std S, right? Did any come out of the factory as an MC40 JCW? That dang JCW cf dash sure is deceiving. =) Thanks in advance and pls excuse my ignorance. Just saw Italian Job again and my interest for one peaked again...lol.

Hi, new to the forum here and came upon this thread and it got me thinking. I just recently, anbout a month ago, purchased a 2004 mini cooper s. Im trying to decide if it is an mc40 or a clone (if there is such a thing). From what I have read it does have these matching parts to real mc40s: 40 year mats, 40 year shifter, carbon fiber jcw dash, 2 piece p90 wheels, chrome gb badge on back, red and black seats, on a six speed. I can see traces of decals above the hood scoop where there was two decals same as the pictures. the previous owner did many other aftermarket upgrades including a fiberglass body kit, exhaust, roll cage, roof checkers and some more decals on the side such as the number 37 and a big mini logo. I guess my real question is, is it a real mc40?
thanks,
Hayden

Hayden,
I don't think anyone has attempted to clone an MC40. Most seem to remove the decals, etc. If you are not planning on returning it to stock, you may want to hang on to the mats and the shift ****. Someone (like I already did) will be willing to pay for the MC40 specific bits.
I would love to see a picture of it with a body kit on it.

Is there a certain number of posts I need before I post pictures? Its not letting me. Ivan always email them if you would like to see.
I place on keeping the mats and stuff just cause they match the theme of the mods.
Is there any way through like the vin to be able to tell what number mc40 it is?
