    It’s not the much rumored JCW Countryman or even the recently uncovered Prodrive version. But it is an homage to the current WRC Countryman rally car complete with the full set of questionable go-fast stickers. Beyond that the only thing we can tell is exclusive to this car are the white JCW 19″ wheels that normally are only available in black or sliver.

    Reportedly 100 of them are coming the UK dealers but there’s nothing that we can find that indicates any wider distribution. Fine with though. We’ll happily bide our time for the ream JCW Countryman.

    Hat tip to @Rakey via Twitter.

    Pretty dang chessy if you ask me... Reminds me of some of the decal queens that Detroit used to try and sell as "special editions."

    Does nothing for the brand.

    This is just a sticker job, as Mark said, but I had been watching for the real thing to come along UNTIL I saw the vid on the Roadster. That changed everything. :D
