13. 2012 MINI GP II

The next iteration of the John Cooper Works GP arrived in 2012 delivering 216bhp from a 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo

engine and a six-speed manual transmission, which gave 0-62 in a little over six seconds, and a top speed of 150mph.

It also had plenty of style features both inside and out to ensure nobody would mistake it for a regular MINI




14. 2012 MINI Clubman SD Hampton Edition

The special edition Estate took the name ‘Hampton’ which was, presumably, a reference to Hampton Court, the former

residence of Henry VIII, and not Cockney rhyming slang.

It featured Reef Blue metallic paint with a black roof, black leather seats, red bonnet stripes, and 17in twin-spoke

alloys. Also standard; automatic climate control, Bluetooth, USB connectivity and bi-xenon headlights.




15. 2012 MINI Highgate

London’s leafy Highgate joins the ‘London’ series, beating neighbour Hampstead which is yet to be so honoured.

Based on the MINI Cooper Convertible, the Highgate came with Iced Chocolate paintwork, Truffle bonnet stripes with blue

edging, and bespoke 17-inch alloy wheels inspired by the Union Flag.
