Mini cooper S JCW 192 tuning kit insurance.
Discussion
So I am selling my r56 mini cooper S with the 192 tuning kit fitted and the new buyer is having problems getting it insured as the companies she is speaking to don’t sound too helpful or understanding of what the car is.
It’s basically an r56 cooper S that has had a dealer fitted tuning kit (exhaust and remap), from new but not from factory. Given it is not a factory model rather a dealer fitted option, I have it insured as a cooper S car with a remap and exhaust (listed as JCW tuning kit). It only costs me £6 more a year than a stock car.
However the new buyer is explaining it’s a JCW tuning model rather than cooper S with a JCW tuning kit fitted I think, which is causing the problem. Obviously the main stream insurance companies don’t have enough knowledge or understanding to correct her and list it correctly.
Not sure how to move forward are there any companies with enough mini knowledge I could recommend she tries.
