WC50 For Sale

Hi guys,

Besides the 2 WC50s currently for sale in TX for $20,000 & FL for $25,900, doesn’t anyone know of any others for sale or about to come on the market in the USA? I’d really like to buy a WC50, but I can’t pay $20k+ for one, thanks!

Sale history for the car with VIN ending in 768 shows that it was posted for sale on Craigslist on Jun 24 for $12k with 88k miles. Not sure which Craigslist….maybe one of those meta searches might reveal where it is.

I believe the one for $12k with 88k miles was in the Chicago area & sold the end of last week. It’s no longer on Craigslist. I just missed that one!!!!! Please keep all suggestions coming, I really appreciate it, thanks again!!!

Great Google Doc gw wc! The original MINI battery finally gave up the ghost when I went out to check the mileage for the spreadsheet. Lasted 11-years....not bad!

Number 165 is likely a loss due to a flood.

@mini coop “Reconciled” here means finding the 50 VINs that (1) have option code 7HK, and (2) were originally titled in the US. The spreadsheet identifies 47. Since our cars were produced in batches of 7-15 with consecutive VINs, I’m wondering if #400 was produced alongside others for a different market...which might explain your rear fog light (and make yours a tiny bit more special). The bimmer.work site lets you see option codes and destination market...you could play with adjacent VINs to see where they went— note that the 9th digit is a “check digit” of 0-9 or X that requires some trial and error to guess the VIN.

Once we have our 50 VINs, the next challenge is matching VIN to scuttle #.

GW_WC do you own a World Championship 50? If so, can you please identify which is your vin number and car number? A photo would be great as well. Thank you.

Number 427 sold for $25,500.00 in Florida. Number 414 is for sale in North Carolina. Number 412 was on eBay and received a highest bid of $20,100.00. The reserve was not met so did not sell. If asking $28,995 I now know why.

Number 412 sold, not sure if it really sold for $26,995 since it was listed on Ebay several times. This is CA car sold in Sacramento. 21,769 miles, pretty low.

There are two tabs-- one by VIN (the master) and one by scuttle # (meant to be temporary until we can link scuttles with VINs)

I have owned WC50 402, 415, 427 and now 422.
I also own autotech-miami.com - more hobby than actual business - just love cars and buying/selling cars I like.
Can't affird to keep them all so at some point they need to go...

Who had 415 before you? Was it one owner?

I have only seen like 7 of these since when they came out.

I saw about 10 GP1s when I was at the Launch event in NJ with MINIUSA. So i would say they are pretty rare.

It was a 2-owner car - originally from Tenn then Ohio.
Funny story...I sold 415 to a customer in Florida as a gift to his girlfriend...she didn't love it...so I bought it back and later sold it to the current owner in Puerto Rico.

Currently restoring 422...I buy alot of parts from ECS!
