Description

- A unique opportunity to own this incredible little Mini- Fabulous condition throughout - The most comprehensive history file we have ever seen. - With just 25 examples built, this is quite possibly the rarest Mini variant ever produced. 24,000 miles. - Supplied with a history file of the likes we haven never seen, COMPREHENSIVE does not come close, every aspect of its creation from hand written specification records - to detailed records of its daily existence are all collated in intimate detail in an extensive portfolio. - Created exclusively by John Cooper Garages in 1999. This is chassis #009. - Factory-fitted with a Jack Knight 5-speed gearbox. 0–60 mph in 8.8 seconds, top speed of 105 mph. - Delivered 'de-graphic'd' with factory Rover approval sought—no white roof or bonnet stripes. Unique. - Owner's Manual signed by John Cooper. - Upgrades include Alex Moulton suspension, Mini Sport vented discs, alloy calipers, and finned rear drums. - Solar Red - Balmoral Stone Beige Leather Trim Only twenty-five of these very special Minis were produced by John Cooper Garages during 1999, making them—arguably—the rarest of all Mini derivatives. What truly set them apart was the fitment of a 5-speed gearbox developed by Jack Knight Developments and installed by John Cooper himself, carrying the distinctive 'JKD' stamping. The result? The fastest production Mini ever made, with a top speed of 105 mph and a 0–60 time of just 8.8 seconds. This outstanding example—chassis #009—has covered only 24,000 miles in the care of a single owner until 2018. Much of that mileage was accrued in its early years, with the car professionally stored since and never driven in the rain. It was personally handed over to the previous owner by John Cooper in March 1999, who also signed the Owner's Manual. What makes T816 KEP especially distinctive—possibly even one of a kind—is its specification. It was supplied without the trademark white roof and bonnet stripes, a change that required approval from Rover before John Cooper Garages could release the car. All servicing was carried out by John Cooper Garages until they ceased offering maintenance. Enhancements include Alex Moulton 'Smooth-a-Ride' suspension, Mini Sport vented discs, alloy calipers, and finned rear drums. The interior features a custom centre console, armrests, speaker pods, rear parcel shelf, and a boot conversion. All original parts have been retained and are boxed, should a return to factory specification be desired. Additional upgrades include a premium stereo system with seven speakers and an amplifier, a new set of tyres, and a fresh MoT. We believe this exceptional Cooper S Works not only represents remarkable value but also lays claim to being the rarest Mini of them all—a true collector's piece.
