Paddy Hopkirk Edition

Hi all and say hello to Scarlet,

Well I traded in my ‘19 Cooper S and took delivery of the Paddy Hopkirk Edition.

The dealership transferred my JCW Pro steering wheel, Craven Speed brace kit, NM Engineering strut brace and the 501 track spoke wheels that clear the JCW brake kit (future install). I have installed the piano black waistline (haven’t taken a picture yet of it) and installed the dynamic side markers.

This is one of the best MINIs I’ve owned and have no complaints. The 7-speed automatic is so smooth too.

Happy motoring,

Rich

Congrats! Cool special edition, and awesome that you'll be modding it somewhat with the big brakes, etc.

To me, it's crazy that they made two sets of Track Spokes that look basically the same but some fit the JCW brakes and some don't.

Congratulations on the new car. I saw one this morning in the dealership showroom. It looks great in person and the JWC seats are great.

Mini nailed it with this edition. The track spokes look very good on there as well. Great pics - enjoy it!

Many thanks to everyone!

Yeah I personally believe MINI did hit the nail on the head with this Edition. Retro touches brought into a modern MINI.

MINI of Westchester and MINI of Fairfield both had four of these models. I think out of the eight four had the manual transmission.

I have to say the track spoke wheels in black looked amazing with the Chili red paint... but I had a plan in mind with the JCW brake kit and I just put the Michelin Pilot Sport as 4 tires on them with under six hundred miles.

I have to contact NM Engineering and order the power module for a little more power
