Since getting a little R53 supercharged cooper S a while back as a run around I realised how Much fun these can be so had been searching for a nice clean low mile GP 1 and found a couple to view but only looked at this one and was happy with everything so drove it home tho instead of taking the Liverpool boat we went on up to Scotland just for the extra blast in it . I can honestly say out of all the cars I’ve owned these are as much fun as I’ve had as they just handle unbelievable and the whine from the supercharger is stupidly addictive.
For anyone not familiar with GP minis they are basically a light weight stripped out road going track car . They are tuned a little more than the John Cooper Works Cooper S and Come with 218bhp and are Hand finished by Bertonè in Italy . There were 2000 world wide with only a few hundred coming to the UK . There’s supposedly now only 165 left in UK including ones on sorn etc tho not sure if that’s accurate
