GP 1652 For Sale

** Back on market because last week's buyer could not come up with the money to complete the purchase.**

Perfect GP #1652 for sale. ONLY 9065 miles! Driven less than 2000 miles per year. Purchased new from South Bay Mini and has always been in Southern California. All books and manuals including the factory jacking blocks are included with the car.

Absolutely stock, as it came from the factory, with the exception of a JCW Carbon Fiber shift ****, a JCW strut bar and carbon fiber truck trim. The original shift ****, etc are included in the sale. This car has never been tracked, has always been garaged day and night, never driven in the rain, never smoked it. It is essentially a perfect factory original GP in showroom condition.

I've never seen a better GP than this car. This car needs nothing.

$28,500.00 Call Mel at 818 389 7168

Bummer, Mel. I'm sure the other buyer is bummed as well. 'Hope you find another buyer without too much trouble.

thanks Martin... it's a beautiful GP and there was a lot of interest so I'm hoping those people who called me after the car was sold will call me back

Wish I had some extra scratch laying around. I'd love to buy it but, times are a little tight. When I bought my 05 S, I went to the first MTTS and saw about a dozen brand new GP's parked all around the Hotel front circle in New Jersey. It was love at first sight. I cant remember seeing another one in person since. I think its the best new generation Mini ever built. Good luck selling it, someone is going to get a great one of a kind car. Wish it was me...

That's for sure. I bought Mel's 06 cabriolet just after he bought the GP. It, too, is a great, one-of-a-kind car. Dark silver, gray leather, no stripes (all just as I would have ordered it), all the options, and every possible JCW option on the books from performance to trim. I've been happy as a clam since and haven't ridden my motorcycle more than a handful of times since.

I have the scratch, but it's ear-marked for other uses. Otherwise it would already be in my driveway.

SOLD!

The original buyer finally completed the deal this afternoon. Because he is on active duty in Afghanistan the transfer of funds was quite complicated but it all worked out in the end.

He's getting a great GP and I'm happy that it found an appreciative home.

Look for it on the streets of LA soon .

Nice! And I'm glad he/she is expecting to get out of Afghanistan in one piece.
