Vehicles we will be driving during your lesson
All our vehicles are the BMW built Mini Cooper D Clubman.
This very unique vehicle was launched in November 2007 and immediately caught our eye as a car our pupils would love to learn in and that we could have fun teaching in. With a 10 week build time to our very own options specification we placed our order to have the first on the road and by March 2008 our pupils were soon enjoying the thrill of these stunning looking super minis.
Since then we are pleased to say that our already impressive driving test pass rate has gone through the roof with only two pupils out of 20 failing to pass 1st time during the rest of 2008. (90% Pass rate March-December 2008)
Increase your enjoyment and your chance of passing the driving test
AUTO EXPRESS SAID: Handling is outstanding. The extra length brings a sense of increased stability, but the Minis’ trademark agility is still present. The steering is full of feel, and the compliant suspension keeps the car flat through corners, yet still soaks up bumps.
