R53. ... JCW v Cooper S with JCW kit

[djo69]

I've previously owned a JCW gen 1 a long time ago and now want to get another. I should have never sold it.

But... I have 2 back to basics questions.

What is the difference between a JCW and a Cooper S with JCW kit? I see both advertised and the latter is always slightly cheaper.

Also, why do some JCWs have the Speedo and Rev counter on separate dials behind the steering wheel, whilst others have everything on the central large dial.

The one I owned had it behind the steering wheel, which I liked, but is there a difference ?

Thanks
