A Truly Unique MINI Challenge Race Car – Professionally Built, Tested but Never Competed
UKI (Sudbury) Limited are proud to offer one of the most remarkable MINI John Cooper Works competition cars available anywhere in the UK.
This exceptional 2011 (61) MINI Coupé John Cooper Works was purchased brand new directly from MINI Bowker Blackburn in January 2012 for one purpose only—to create an uncompromising Mini Challenge race car.
Unlike many race-prepared cars, this was never a road car converted later in life. It was stripped and built from new by Advent Motorsport, under the direction of renowned Mini Challenge engineer Andrew Crighton, to an exceptionally high standard using genuine motorsport components throughout.
Even more remarkably, although professionally developed and tested, this car has never competed in a race, making it an incredibly rare opportunity for collectors, competitors and MINI enthusiasts alike.
The complete build was documented from start to finish in Modern MINI Magazine, creating an outstanding provenance rarely seen with specialist competition vehicles.

Why This MINI Challenge Race Car Stands Out
This is not simply another MINI John Cooper Works.
It represents a unique opportunity to own a professionally engineered Mini Challenge race car, built by one of the UK's leading motorsport preparation specialists using a brand-new donor vehicle and developed to genuine competition standards.
Unlike many competition cars that have endured years of racing, accident repairs and repeated rebuilds, this remarkable MINI was professionally completed, tested and developed but never entered into competitive racing, making it exceptionally unusual.
Built by Advent Motorsport, under the guidance of Andrew Crighton, one of the most respected names in Mini Challenge racing, every component has been selected for maximum performance, durability and driver confidence.
The inclusion of a Quaife Limited Slip Differential, KW Motorsport Suspension, Cosworth Digital Dashboard, Forge Motorsport Intercooler, Carbon Fibre DTM Bonnet, Mini Challenge ECU Calibration, Motorsport Brakes and fully welded roll cage places this vehicle among the highest-quality MINI competition builds available.
Adding further provenance, the complete build was featured throughout Modern MINI Magazine, documenting every stage of the project from donor vehicle to completed race car.

As analogue motorsport cars become increasingly scarce, professionally engineered examples with exceptional provenance continue to grow in desirability.
Whether retained as part of a private collection, displayed at specialist events or used for track driving, this MINI represents a unique opportunity to acquire an exceptionally rare competition vehicle.
