Hi guys, basically as the title suggests. I'm going to be buying a Cooper JCW in the new year and basically want to know if there is an easy way to tell what engine is fitted to the car. Is it as simple as popping the bonnet and being able to tell straight away if it's an N14 or an N18 or would it be on the V5??
I'm 100% new to owning a mini so I'm trying to learn all this before I spend any money.
I test-drove one when they first came out in about 2002 with the view to buying but it was a little on the small side at the time so I bought a Golf Mk4 R32 instead. I've still got the Mini bug from driving one that day so I'm on the hunt again, better late than never, hey.
Here are a couple of cars for examples, can anyone tell what variant engine be fitted to these
