This Mini John Cooper Works GP3 is a rare and exciting limited-edition modern hot hatch, offered for sale by its second owner from new and with very low mileage. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre inline-four, delivering 228kW to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift. This original Australian-market example was first registered in September 2020, and has been with the seller and second owner for two years. This John Cooper Works GP3 is number 1,179 of only 3,000 examples delivered worldwide. The odometer shows just 6,724Kms from new. First unveiled as a concept car in 2017 and refined into a production version for November 2019, the JCW GP represents the pinnacle of third-generation Mini performance. Based on the existing John Cooper Works model, the GP3 offers greater road-holding abilities thanks to its thicker anti-roll bars, lower right height, and wider track. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine features an updated twin-scroll turbocharger, lighter pistons, and a reinforced crankshaft, along with unique intake and exhaust systems. The GP is also equipped with pronounced carbon-fibre wheel arch extensions, a deeper front bumper, and a rear wing. As with all GP3 models, this example is finished in Racing Grey Metallic with complementary silver door mirror caps and roof, red side decals, and gloss black and gloss red trim elements. Inside, the cabin features black leather and Dinamica synthetic suede upholstery with grey fabric seat accents, red stitching and seat belts, quilted seat inserts, and gloss black and chrome trim. It rides on a set of 18-inch twin four-spoke alloy wheels finished in satin black with diamond-cut accents, framing red brake callipers and fitted with Hankook Ventus S1 Evo Z tyres. Equipment includes LED headlights and driving lights, cruise control, a digital dashboard display, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, heated seats, switchable traction control, a central infotainment system with satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and Apple CarPlay, and a rear strut brace. The car comes with the owner’s handbook with a black fabric wallet. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted in December 2023, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. This Mini’s most recent maintenance was carried out in November 2023 at 5,084 Kms by Willoughby Automotive, which is understood to have consisted of a scheduled service. The seller notes that the vehicle has been kept in a car port whenever not being driven, and has never been used on track. This Mini John Cooper Works GP3 is a rare and desirable limited-edition modern hot hatch, offered for sale by its second owner from new and with low mileage.
