My wife has been itching to get on track with her Mini Cooper JCW's
But I wasnt keen on her using it .... So we were looking for a starter car.

Peugeot 206 GTi
Seat Ibiza Coupra
Alfa 145

Anyway after lost of searching I decided on this .......



It might be a bit OTT but it was crying out for me .......
Its a Mini Cooper John Cooper Challenge car. It was the original press car for BMW and didnt race until 2006
All panels are original too, but could do with a new bonnet at some time....

Sheare chuffed to bits with it

 

 

 

Is it road legal?

 

Well kind of ...... Its got Cut slick tyres on and hasnt got a current MOT.
But wouldnt take a lot to get it back to road legal status.

 

Very nice, should be a lot of fun!

 

Cooool Lucky, lucky wife

I'd love a dedicated track day car, especially a full on racing version

 

So she's never been on the track before and you buy 'her' a racecar? Hmm.

 

LoL, you bought it for yourself, admit it !

 

Well im itching to have a go as well, But not sure I will get a look in
