I've never actually driven in a GP but from what I've read I would love to get my hands on one. My question is how "usable" are the rear seats. I know they are removed but is there still room enough to fit someone in the back in a situation where someone needs a ride. I don't mind having a two seater but I'd like to have the ability for more if necessary (I don't care about the passengers comfort).

Thanks for all your responses...

PS - Anyone know the insurance differences between MCS and MC GP? MCS was very low when i check on it last month. Thanks.

 

They are lacking seat belts, and any form of a seat if I understood correctly. In many states , this obviously wont be legal.



Great for hauling though!

 

so it is possible aside from the fact that it's not legal?

 

bungee strap them in!

 

There is room enough for someone to seat/lay on the back floor and hold onto the luggage bar. The rear seats are replaced with a flat floor and a luggage bar that crosses (side-to-side) the rear compartment about a foot behind the front seats. Thus, there is just a flat floor behind the front seats where someone could seat/lay.

 

[quote=cgriffin;1952899]. Hope you don't care about the person who suppost ride in the back because he /she won't be your friend after riding in the back.. .

My insurance company treats the GP like the other two MINIs

 

[quote=lastrega;1953141]Yeah I sat my gfs brother just had to be careful of cops.

Just got policy for GP, Proggressive did differentiate between Cooper, S, JCW, and GP.

 

It is possible to add a rear seat. It has been done by a GP owner and I believe there are pics of his GP on the GPMINI.net site.

 

Yes, Brent added rear seats to his GP - and did it very well. But it takes effort to do properly, including seat belts.

 

the GP's really do not have a usable rear seat area, since there are no seats. it's like putting all your friends into a cargo van. they have a place to sit, but hold on. it has been done, like it's been said, that you can add a rear seat, but it takes a lot of work. for the added work, you could by any cooper S and add some go fast items and have the same performance. but the GP is a vary nice car.

 

Do you have a link to his pics, or process? thx much. I'll search your site.

 

Sorry, no.

 

The bar in the back is a great place to hook the dogs to with there safety harness. Thay love a drive. When I got mine the owner sat in the back with her legs under the bar and feet in the rear foot wells, no head room though.

 

I have had people ride in the back.. but only when there was no choice..

I have a S cooper and removed the seats to give me more room for stuff to go into the back. I purchased all the GP parts and I love it. If anyone wants the seats that came out of my 06 maybe we can make a deal.

 

I may be in the market for all your rear seats and rear seat belts including the mounting brackets. What color are your rear seats?

 

seats and 1/4 panels and seat belts are all black. I also have the upper trim that the seat belt goes through in the head liner color whih is a bage white color.

 

So what are you charging for this?
