Ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome please for the newest addition to our management fleet here at C&P Towers – the MINI Mayfair.

The Mayfair is a special edition version of the Cooper S released to celebrate 50 years of the original, iconic and rather smaller Mini.

The Cooper S badge means it boasts a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine popping out 184bhp, although from our early playing with the car it feels like more.

So far we’ve had quite a giggle in our front-wheel drive Brown Beauty. We’ll keep you posted of the fun and games we get up to in it.
