17 Feb 2021 • 2 min read
Mini Australia will release three Paddy Hopkirk Edition hot hatches next month, with the special trio getting retro styling that pays homage to the eponymous Irish driver’s famous win in the #37 entrant at the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally.
The Cooper S grade is available in 3-Door Hatch and 5-Door Hatch variants, which are priced from $54,800 and $56,400 plus-on road costs respectively and limited to 25 examples each, while the JCW grade is only offered in a $69,000 3-Door Hatch variant that’s restricted to 15 units.

Mini Australia has confirmed the first special for the facelifted version of the second-generation Countryman small SUV, with the Boardwalk Edition due next month.
The Boardwalk Edition stands out from the Countryman crowd with its Deep Laguna metallic paintwork, Piano Black exterior trim, black 18-inch Pin alloy wheels and fold-out picnic bench.
And if you’re still having trouble telling the difference, the Boardwalk Edition goes even further with characteristic garnishes on the ‘side scuttles’ and scuff plates as well as branding between the C- and D-pillars.
Inside, the Boardwalk Edition once again features branding, this time on the passenger side of the Piano Black dashboard insert, as well as a panoramic sunroof, a 410W Harman Kardon sound system with 12 speakers, and front sports seats with heating.
Does it represent good value for the price? What features does it come with? 8/10
Wearing a price of $63,900, before on-road costs, the Mini JCW GP is the most expensive variant ‘available’ in the three-door hatchback range.
We say ‘available’ only because you can’t actually go out to a dealership to buy one as only 67 examples have been earmarked for Australia, all of which have been snapped up by keen fans.
Customers will be able to get their hands on the standard Mini JCW three-door hatchback though, which is priced from $57,900, though there are more than a few key differences.
