Chassis No: WMWSU92040T741536
MOT: October 2023
Registered on 25th October 2013 and wearing ‘GP02 HMP’, drawing reference from the JCW GP2 model and ‘Her Majesty's Pleasure’ (or HM Prison) as per the “Cooper S featured in the movie The Italian Job (1969). This very well-presented Mini John Cooper Works GP2 edition is about as highly specified as you can get and the performance certainly matches the appearance. Capable of 0-60 in just 6.1 seconds and 150mph, it’s certainly no slouch.
The exterior looks striking in the special edition Thunder Grey Metallic paint and the high-specification interior boasts JCW Recaro seats. The vehicle graphics include the number ‘1760’ referencing the production number as part of the total global production volume of just 2,000 units. Having covered just circa 31,000 miles from new and 3 service stamps in the book this fine limited edition example has clearly been well looked after by its 3 former keepers. The vehicle comes with the service record, V5C and a recent MOT.
Commonly referred to as the GP2, the 2013 John Cooper Works GP is a limited-edition, track-oriented version of the regular John Cooper Works hatchback based loosely on the JCW Challenge race car. Production was limited to 2000 units worldwide. The GP2 boasts a 218-hp (214 for US models) turbo-charged 1.6 L direct-injected four-cylinder engine, giving it a 0–60 mph time of 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 150 mph. The engine is essentially identical to the N18 used in other 2013 John Cooper Works models, with a slight increase in compression accounting for the modest power gain. In keeping with its uncompromising roots, a 6-speed manual gearbox was the only transmission offered. The GP2 also features exclusive 17” wheels, high-performance tires designed in a special partnership with Kumho, adjustable coil-over suspension with revised geometry unique to the GP, 6-piston Brembo front calipers borrowed from the BMW 135i, a full valance tray and functional rear diffuser, a hatch-mounted spoiler with carbon fibre element, ed mirror caps, brake ducts, signature badging, a pair of special-edition Recaro sport seats (complete with side-impact airbags), and deletion of the rear seats to save weight.
