Meet "Jude"
1 of just 300 UK Paul Smith specially designed edition Mini's. WITH A TWIST, the famous John Cooper S Works conversion kit!
Finished in the most amazing colour of "Paul Smith Blue". Body colour matching arches cover the 12x6 inch charcoal painted sports style wheels wrapped in Yoko A539 165/60r tyres, these just look awesome. Of course everything else is chrome. Special mention needs to be made to the contrasting punchy citrus green hints. Here's an extract from the original sales brochure..... "the designer of the Mini must be a genius. It looks better & better every year and still drives like a dream" The paint is absolutely stunning. Spot the unique bonnet Paul Smith badge and Paul Smith decal in the rear window.
Internally is where the Paul Smith minis really shine. Opening the door you are greeted with the upgraded black full leather interior with matching door cards, black carpet which just transform the feeling. The black leather clad steering wheel, gear knob & handbrake cover all paired with the colour matched dash, just lift this above your standard Mini. Specially designed "Paul Smith "cream dials with speedo, rev counter, fuel & temperature gauges. The drivers & passenger door pockets along with the glove box in contrasting citrus green make for useable spaces. Also spot the the matching clock.
Under the bonnet is where Jude is taken into the stratosphere! From new Jude was sent to John Cooper for the famous John Cooper S Works conversion kit (£3300), taking the already punchy 1275cc MPI 8v (63 bhp) engine to an outstanding 90 BHP! This kit includes larger valve, ported S stage cylinder head, high performance exhaust, improved fuelling and induction plus many more features?. Of course this is a rather fast car. Paired to the wonderfully smooth 4 speed gearbox, this really flies along. Jude has travelled just 61,959 miles. Has a full service history, 2 sets of keys, all original books and a comprehensive ownership record (Just 2 owners). Running gear wise these had uprated suspension from factory. Jude is totally original including the working factory radio.
Like most other Minis these are increasing in value rapidly and I suspect this is the only one in the world! so why not get in the mix to win an appreciating British icon from an iconic British designer, for a few pounds.
This is an exceptionally well cared for example in a stunning and rare colour combination that makes him collectible and extremely valuable!
