This Mini John Cooper Works Paddy Hopkirk Edition is a ‘near-new’ example of the rare limited-edition rally-inspired modern hot hatch, offered with a single owner from new and little more than delivery mileage. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four, producing 170kW and driving the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shift. The odometer shows a mere 225 Kms from new. This Australian-delivered model is understood to have been manufactured in November 2020, has had a single owner from new, and remains unregistered. This John Cooper Works Paddy Hopkirk Edition is one of only 65 Australian-market examples, and is one of only 15 three-door models. Inspired by legendary rally driver Paddy Hopkirk and his victory at the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally behind the wheel of the number 37 Mini Cooper S, the John Cooper Works Paddy Hopkirk Edition features a number of unique factory appointments including the famous number plate ‘33 EJB’ embossed on the bonnet stripe, ‘37’ door decals, Paddy Hopkirk illuminated door sills, and the famous driver’s signature decals applied throughout the vehicle. As with all Paddy Hopkirk Editions, this example is finished in Chili Red with a contrasting gloss-white roof, and swathes of Piano Black trim. Inside, the cabin features Carbon Black leather upholstery, with perforated Union Jack designs on the front headrests, and Piano Black trim accents. It rides on a set of 18-inch John Cooper Works ‘Style 506’ alloy wheels finished in matte-black, framing red brake callipers, and shod in Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres. The factory specification includes LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, a multifunctional steering wheel, cruise control with speed limiter, a 5-inch digital dash, a 8.8-inch infotainment system with satellite navigation and Apple CarPlay, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, switchable driving modes, automatic start/stop function, push-button start, heated front seats, an electric panoramic glass sunroof, and electrically adjustable door mirrors. The car will be supplied with all of its original owner’s handbooks. The Chili Red paintwork is described by the seller as being in superb, ‘near-new’ condition, with no notable marks or blemishes, in line with the car's age and very limited usage. Inside, the cabin is presented in excellent order, with only slight signs of use on the seats and around the trim, but no major wear or discolouration. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults with the car, and they state that there are no warning lights on the dashboard. This Mini John Cooper Works Paddy Hopkirk Edition is a superb, ‘near-new’ example of the rare limited-edition rally-inspired modern hot hatch, offered with a single owner from new and just 225 km on the odometer. One of only 65 Australian-market examples produced, boasting a raft of desirable factory options and unique cosmetic upgrades, it would make a notable addition to any contemporary collection, and an exciting companion for rapid daily driving, weekend sprints, and longer-distance road trips alike.
