Grand Prix Cooper

[rougeleo]

John Cooper launched a special edition cooper in 1994 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the mini and also the 35th anniversary of his F1 team winning the F1 world championship .

It was a very up market car with all leather and 86 bhp through a 1300 with Weber alpha injection system.

There were only 35 made and you rarely see them ( all in BRG )

anyone got one ???

[rougeleo]

you may be right , but according to the sales literature I have here there were only 35 made .

one was featured in the mini mags with a zeemax kit a few years ago

prefer the smaller wheels on the Grand Prix .

Never been a big fan of 13" wheels although they do look nice .

"There were 35 grand Prix's built, quite a special car, there are a few that you see at the shows, they were all British racing green, apart from car 35 which was tahiti blue. "



any idea where the Tahiti blue one ended up ????

Hi Andy

I saw the Pam Zahringer ( something like that ) car at mini40 in 1999 and it was very well done .


I just fancy one of the BRG Grand Prixs as standard .



But RSPs ain't bad either
