Gp 0220

Thinking seriously about buying this car, located in NH. It has been converted to full-blown race car. does anyone know the history of this car or anything else?

The owner has graciously provided most of the info I have asked for, but in light of extensive mods, I'd like to find out more before taking the plunge.

I think I found the listing, and it's certainly nice looking...but the price seems really low. If he shows up at MoT this weekend I'll try to check it out for you. FWIW, you may want to post this on the NH regional page, someone around here may know more about this MINI.

RigStig,

Thank you for the info. I only found the listing in AutoTrader. Could not find it in NAM. If you have the link, I'd appreciate it.

Looking forward to hear back from you if you find out more.

Regards,
Bahman

quikmni & RigStig,

Thank you for the info. The Exhaust problem he had was in 2010, and I beleive it has been fixed.

From the looks of it, this GP has been turned over to many owners and it may be hard to track it's history.

One of our users appeared to have owned it:
