Wayne Rooney’s awesome Mini for sale

An ultra-special Mini Cooper owned by one of World football’s greatest talents is for sale on Auto Trader.

Wayne Rooney was the first owner of this rare special edition 2006 Mini GP, which boasts serious performance. 

The hardcore version of the hot Cooper S is fitted with a supercharged 1.6-litre engine, the Mini produces 218bhp and 185lb/ft of pulling power.

It’s made special by BMW removing the rear seats to make it lighter and fitting unique alloy wheels.  

The lightning-quick hot hatch can reach 62mph (100kph) in less than 6.5 seconds, before running on to a top speed of 150mph.

And BMW has given the Mini a racier feel by removing the rear seats and fitting a limited slip differential, which allows power to be distributed to the wheel with most grip improving handling and traction.

On the outside, the Cooper has 18-inch alloys, an ‘Aero’ bodykit and privacy glass.

On top of the standard Cooper S, the Mini Cooper S with John Cooper Works Tech – to give its official name – has sports suspension, uprated brakes and a carbon fibre interior.

Rooney’s model was one of only 2,000 ever made and is number one of 444 imported to the UK.

It also benefits from the ‘Chilli Pack’ which includes xenon headlights and air-conditioning.

He owned it for about six months before passing it on to the current owner.

Wayne Rooney is England’s biggest footballing talent. The 21-year-old shot onto the scene as a prodigious teenager for Everton, before sealing a multi-million deal to sign for Manchester United.

He has a reputation for loving fast cars, having owned a selection of Lamborghinis, Bentleys and BMW.

And this weekend sees the English football season kick of with Wayne and United team mates playing Reading on Sunday.

Now you can get your hands on Rooney’s rapid Mini – which has covered just 5,600 miles – for £21,200.
