Description
Rare and highly regarded R56 MINI GP2 - One of only 2,000 produced worldwide and just 288 for the UK market. Number 1,557.
1.6L Turbocharged JCW Engine - 218bhp | 6-speed manual | 0–60mph 6.3s | Top speed 150mph
One of the most focused and rewarding modern MINIs - lighter, faster, and sharper than the standard JCW, and a genuine future classic that is already highly sought after. This is not just another hot hatch; it's a low-production-number driver's car in exceptional condition, ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. Meticulously maintained and serviced by MINI main dealers and specialists.
I purchased this car in April 2022 and it has been a genuine pleasure to own. It's a well cared for, original, unmodified example. Never tracked and garaged for the majority of its life. The exterior is in excellent condition. Fully detailed using Auto Finesse/Gyeon products with only a few minor stone chips to the front end, as you would expect at this age and mileage. A couple of the diamond cut wheels have some very light salt corrosion in a few spots. The interior is in exceptional condition, with no marks and only slight wear to the driver's bolster.
