2013 GP sales

Looking for a 2012/13 JCW or GP2. Im finding a disproportionate number of GP2s with very low mileage for sale as compared to JCWs. GP2s are limited production.
Is there a reason for this? Any theories?

Thx

My hunch is that the lack of rear seats limits the buyer pool.

This.

It's not a car everyone can live with on a daily basis.

The Mini GP2 is like an exotic call girl, everyone looks and talks, about them, but only a handful of us can handle the luggage it comes with.

It was a bucket list car for me. No kids (not that I'm ever having any) and I'm still young, so I figured why not when I saw one pop up for sale at a dealer.

No regrets, love this car.
