Mini Cooper S GTT 220

QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST LOOKING MINI IN THE UK

I know its a long shot trying to flog a car on a fashion site but you never know! The car is stunning; it has to be one of the best looking mini's in the country. It took me months of searching to find one with this spec.

The only reason we are selling is because we have a baby on the way, we've started looking at prams and realised its going to be a bit tight getting the quinny system in the boot. Thought it would be big enough but its not Sad

Possible part ex for an Audi A4 / A6 S-line (up to £16,000)

Im not having much luck with contraception more like Laughing out loud

I loved the mini when I saw it so convinced myself it was going to be fine as a 'family car' but since we've actually started looking at prams its obvious its not. The pram system thing we want will just about fit but means taking the wheels off (the pram not the car)

Looking back i'd still have bought it for the fun i've had with it (its like driving a go kart). But yeh, im going back to an Audi (I do like Audi's it has to be said).

keep the mini and forget the pram, no need for 'em mate, just carry the baby around (hippy stylee) till he's big enough to hold himself upright in a buggy

I was in a lift today when a hippy woman got in wearing one of them baby carriers, the woman had short hair and was a full on earth mother, hemp hooded jumper and purple velvet trousers. probably had lentils in her pockets. its the only time in my life where ive considered punching both a woman and a baby.

nice car j600.

Agreed, it looks lovely too.

Have you posted it up on PistonHeads yet? Loads of potential buyers in the Classifieds section there.

Erm I'm guessing 1250 kgs? Could be totally wrong. I believe the stock Cooper S was 7.8 seconds so assumed somewhere in the region of 7 for this one. Might be faster though.
