Mini will release the Mini JCW World Championship 50 - a limited edition of the famous hot hatch to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
The JCW World Championship 50 is powered by a 211bhp turbo 1.6-litre engine from the standard car, through a six-speed manual box, and will come heavily specced, weighing in at around £20K.
The special-edition JCWs will be limited to 250, and will be decked out in Connaught Green with Pepper White stripes and black alloys. Mini says the a colour scheme is designed to evoke Cooper F1 cars.
Exterior-wise there are cross-spoke Challenge alloy wheels finished in black, carbon fibre trim and special edition numbering. The signature of John Cooper's son, "John" Michael Cooper, also appears on the car.
Moving inside, eats are decked in carbon black leather with red piping and stitching, with Alcantara and carbon fibre trim.
The special edition is designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mini's motorsports successes in addition to John Cooper's victory in the F1 Drivers' and Constructors' Championship.
