I have owned GP1294 for just under 2 years and the car has been a complete joy to own. She is only being sold as we have a baby on the way and I need a bigger car. GP1294 has just had an Inspection 2 (Major Service) on 17/2/15 at MiniCraft, a Mini Tuning Specialist and is not due an MOT Till Sept ’15. I have also tastefully changed a couple of things on GP1294 inc Aero Front Grille, Colour Coded Headlight Rings, Stubby Aeriel, Alpine Ipod Headunit as well as Replacing the tyres from Run Flats to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric’s all round. I also replaced the Factory Air Filter to a Performance ITG Filter and had the JCW Air Box DeFlapped to allow better Throttle Response and a Louder Supercharger Whine. This car really is a fantastic car to drive and own, it really put the fun into driving and sounds just amazing – First To See Will Buy. PLEASE NOTE PRIVATE PLATE NOT INCLUDED IN SALE.

“The last Mk I variant to be produced using the supercharged Tritec engine was the Mini Cooper S with John Cooper Works GP Kit a light-weight, quasi-race-prepped John Cooper Works model. Hand-finished by Bertone in Italy, it was offered as a limited-production run of 2000 cars during the 2006 model year, with 444 of those originally intended for the UK market (although ultimately, 459 were sold). The GP features more bolstered Recaro front seats but had no rear seats, which along with reduced sound-deadening, removal of the rear wash-wipe system, optional air-conditioning and radio, and other weight-reduction steps, resulted in a weight saving of around 40 kg (88 lb) compared to a Cooper S.

Mechanically, it features a less restrictive intercooler, recalibrated engine management, high-volume injector nozzles, and a freer-flowing exhaust system. Extra cooling capabilities lets the supercharged engine run longer on cooler temperatures for better track performance. This results in 218 hp (163 kW) on a faster revving engine.

Additionally, the car had enhanced braking, suspension, and a smooth under-body for better aerodynamics. The whole geometry of the rear axle was modified with parts from the Mini Challenge race car to enhance the handling. In place of the rear seats there is a metal bar for a stiffer chassis performance. The car also offered many unique styling points, such as the red door mirrors, a carbon fibre rear spoiler, unique body kit, bespoke (2 kg lighter) four-spoke alloy wheels, and specialized badging. Available in just one colour scheme (Thunder Blue with a Pure Silver roof), each car was individually numbered and featured a decal on the roof along with a plaque on the dashboard.”
