Model Overview
The GP2 is arguably the most special iteration for purists from the Mini GP line-up. Limited to 2, 000 units and only 288 UK supplied, the GP2 is the last of truly analogue with its six-speed manual gearbox and genuinely track focused chassis, weighing a mere 1, 160kg, with adjustable ‘Bilstein’ suspension, Recaro heated bucket-seats, powered by a 1. 6L Turbocharged Engine with 218HP. For modern-classic investment and an engaging driving experience, the right GP2 outweighs the automatic-only GP3 in production numbers and investment credentials.
History & Highlights
MOT’d annually at main dealer with an impressive online history. Exercised more than regularly with no extended periods of sitting. Stored in a climate controlled garage year round in remarkable condition with few front-end stone chips correctly correlating to mileage. Never driven on track, never modified, up-kept as a modern investment.
Comprehensively verified as factory correct, with all credentials to confirm an ideal investment opportunity - paint depth gauge readings to confirm factory paint across all panels, all accessories, manuals, numbered stickers, service books and original bill of sale. There’s very few example left that are genuinely as factory correct and honest as this.
Preparation
Prepared to an exceptional standard, this Mini GP2 has been enhanced to its full potential.
Exterior - the paintwork benefits from a full 3 stage machine polish and ‘Gtechniq’ Ceramic Coating, to retrieve a deep gloss with future protection. The underside and arches has been lightly cleaned to maintain an honest condition. The original red bonnet vent sticker is showing a little fading from age - a genuine replacement is included but the current sticker will remain on to maximise originality.
Interior - All carpet, floor mats and front seats have been deep cleansed with compressed air tools, followed by a full wet-vacuum extraction. The engine bay has been lightly cleaned to retain an honest condition.
