This is a feeler for my 2006 COOPER JCW S GP. This is #1491 of 2000 in the world, but only 415 total units made it to the states. For those familiar with Mini's, as you know this is a limited edition car to celebrate the end of 1st generation "21st Century" R53 Mini's. I am the 2nd owner, and the car was purchased as a weekend car. It's a great car and a lot of fun. At this time I'm thinking about selling simply so I can move on to another car to play with.

Price: $23,500 obo.

Some basic information on what makes this "GP" edition more unique than a normal JCW Mini (besides the above mentioned only 415 units exist in US - maybe even less now as 30 cars were ordered by Laguna Seca Race Track and they blew through those during a kick off event when these cars landed in the states):

• Assembled in Bertone, Italy from a “body-in-white” kit manufactured at the MINI plant in Oxford, England
• The most powerful first generation production engine, with John Cooper Works upgrade, further boosted to approx 215hp / 180ftlb torque
• Weight savings of almost 100lb by removing the rear seat and substituting aluminum rear control arms
• Unique “Thunder Blue” body with silver roof and contrasting red mirror caps
• Unique aero, including carbon fiber rear “wing” spoiler and underbody panelling for improved aerodynamics
• Unique 18″ lightweight wheels
• Unique “anthracite” speedometer & rev counter dials

More information can be read up on @ www.gpmini.net


Some of the pictures shows SSR rims on the car, but it has since been removed and the stockers are back on. There are no rashes on the stock 18". For anyone who is concerned how the engine is, there has not been any modification done to the car. Everything is stock in that regard, so the car is highly reliable and un-tampered with. Only "mods" are bolt on items listed below.

The sale includes:

• Original red mirror caps
• Mini (GP specific) car cover
• Mini Factory Harmon/ Kardon stereo (in box, lousy, and not used. Currently taking up dead weight in the glove compartment).
• Upgraded Alpine Ipod/ Sirius player installed in dash.
• Original Mini 18" wheels on upgraded Michelin PS2's (Approx 10K miles).
• Mini carpeted floor mats.
• Mini winter (plastic/rubber) floor mat
• Tinted windows
• New brakes put in at 16k miles - original owner had Hawks pads on and I couldn't stand the squeaking sound so I replaced it.
• Hidden 1.5" trailer hitch (for a bike rack). NOTE: Please see some of the pictures showing the rear of the car. The bumper itself was NOT modified in order to have this option. Mini designed the bumper to include a hole above the exhaust area that can allow a hitch to be use. The hole is normally just covered with a plastic cover. I personally never used the hitch before.
• Clear Bra over lower hood and complete front bumper installed at purchase.
• Front tow hook (presumably for looks, it's never been pulled with).

If anyone have any questions, feel free to contact me. I can be reached at 714-425-5228 and just ask for Wilson. I'm located in So Ca.

Sorry about the AutoTrader link. The dealers site isn't working on my iPhone.

 

0601 has already sold, I called today.

Good luck with 1491!

 

Thanks!

 

Did you sell your GP?

 

the link to the NAM marketplace ad says it is sold.

 

Nope I still have it. Taking my time with it because it's such a fun car. The NAM marketplace ad expired and I didn't bother updating it.

 

that is cool. happy to hear you are still enjoying it.

 

I saw you're interested in buying a GP. If you're interested in mine, feel free to contact me.

Attached are a few pics taken two weeks ago after a wax job.

 

Previously added Hamann **** and brake levers. Will be removing it now and not include it as a part of the sale.

 

Is it still for sale? What's the price, location, condition, mileage? Seems your ad no longer exists.

 

Hello,

Yes it's still for sale. The sale ad expired and I didn't bother renewing it. Please go ahead and use this link, my friend posted it on my behalf on the M3 forum.

I'm in Orange County, So Cali. Mileage at this point is ~ 17,300. Hope this helps. If you have further interest, let me know.

 

updated details in OP.

 

Seriously considering selling my JCW Clubman to get a GP. Beautiful cars!

 

Ou should do it. I just did and no regrets at all.

 

LOL well said!!!!

 

I can't believe this didn't sell this yet. I should try and talk my wife into it, her R53 has 92k on it and she LOVES my GP. It is just too bad you are 3000+ miles away on the other coast!

 

Hehe ya, I can't believe it either. I don't think my price is out of line for a GP that's at 17K miles. But then again, I'm not really pushing hard on the sale either. If you end up convincing your wife, feel free to contact me and we'll talk details. Thanks!

 

Hi everyone, my GP is back up for sale. As previously mentioned before, this post was more or less just a tester. As you can tell from the date of last post, I haven't been very pushy on it. At current, I'm making another push since I have a new car ID'd to move over to. I have adjusted the price here as well as added a picture of the mileage (just taken today at lunch). Official mileage = 17,235.

 

Beautiful car. A definite collector motor. I've seen a couple of higher mileaged ones asking for a lot more.

 

Damn I would really like to buy this but I need to sell one of my harley's before buying it or my wife will kill me. Already run out of room in the garage. We could be talking if I sell my bike.

 

Haha I know exactly how you feel. I'm only trying to move this fun car because I have an itch for a Porsche. Let me know when you're ready

 

Bump.

 

New pictures.

 

I looked for your advertisement but couldn't seem to find it. What's the current price?
