2008 MINI Cooper
S Hatchback
Born from a motorsport legacy, John Cooper Works (JCW) represents the high‑performance division of MINI, founded in 2002 by Michael Cooper, son of legendary Formula 1 designer John Cooper. The Cooper name has been tied to racing innovation since 1946, and that spirit lives on in every performance‑focused MINI built today.
This 2008 MINI Cooper S Hardtop captures that heritage with its sporty, nimble, and unmistakably fun driving experience. Powered by a 1.6L turbocharged 4‑cylinder paired with a 6‑speed automatic, it delivers quick acceleration, sharp handling, and MINI’s signature go‑kart feel.
Equipped with Miniac Racing components, this Cooper S stands out with enhanced style and performance appeal—perfect for enthusiasts who appreciate a MINI with attitude.
The hatchback design offers practical cargo space while maintaining MINI’s iconic compact footprint. Front‑wheel drive keeps it planted and confident in all conditions. With 96k miles, this example has been well cared for and is ready for its next driver.
A fun, spirited, and performance‑inspired MINI with true JCW lineage—this Cooper S is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a lively daily driver with motorsport DNA.
