EX-WORKS PRODRIVE MINI COUNTRYMAN WRC RECCE CAR – OU60 FVJ

Ex-Kris Meeke / Dani Sordo | Genuine Prodrive Works Heritage | 4WD | LHD | Rare Collector Opportunity

PRICE: €19,000

KG Motorsport is pleased to offer this exceptionally rare, genuine ex-works Prodrive MINI Countryman Cooper S ALL4 reconnaissance car, registration OU60 FVJ, from the factory MINI World Rally Championship programme.

Associated with both Kris Meeke and Dani Sordo during the original MINI WRC period, this car has been used by both works drivers.

This is not a replica or an ordinary road car converted to resemble a rally vehicle. It is a genuine Prodrive-era reconnaissance car, purpose-prepared to meet the demands of World Rally Championship reconnaissance.

GENUINE WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP HERITAGE

In 2011, MINI returned to the World Rally Championship with Prodrive, one of the most successful names in international rallying.

With Kris Meeke and Dani Sordo leading the works programme, the MINI John Cooper Works WRC competed at the highest level of the sport.

Alongside the competition cars, a small fleet of specially prepared MINI Countryman reconnaissance vehicles was developed to support the programme. Just 8 of these cars were built by Prodrive for the works team and customer Mini drivers.

These specialist vehicles were engineered by Prodrive for repeated use on demanding gravel and asphalt roads.

OU60 FVJ is a surviving example of this exceptionally rare group of Prodrive-associated MINI reconnaissance cars.

ORIGINALLY ADVERTISED BY PRODRIVE AT ALMOST £45,000 PLUS VAT

When Prodrive originally offered these specialist MINI Countryman reconnaissance cars for sale, its official sales literature quoted £39,995 plus VAT for standard suspension specification, rising to £44,995 plus VAT with Öhlins dampers.

These were expensive, professionally prepared motorsport vehicles when new, rather than ordinary production Countrymans fitted with rally accessories.

Now available from KG Motorsport for €19,000, this represents an opportunity to acquire a genuine Prodrive-era reconnaissance car at a fraction of the original advertised price for a comparable vehicle, with the added attraction of its historical significance and potential future collector appeal.

Now offered by KG Motorsport, it represents an opportunity to acquire a genuine works-era reconnaissance car with an interesting and identifiable history.

RARE, USABLE AND COLLECTIBLE

These vehicles are considerably rarer than conventional production MINI Countryman models and represent an interesting chapter in modern World Rally Championship history.

OU60 FVJ offers a combination rarely found in motorsport machinery: a genuine works-era vehicle that can be used for rally reconnaissance today, while also offering the rarity, provenance and historical significance sought by collectors and MINI enthusiasts.

An ideal acquisition for a serious rally competitor, MINI collector, motorsport enthusiast or anyone seeking an unusual vehicle with authentic Prodrive heritage.
