#445 - production sequence number 1441. Car was originally MINI of the Woodlands' GP.
I bought #445 at a Chevy(!) dealer in Houston, Tx in Oct 2013, had about 3000miles on the clock if I recall correctly.
Car is now happily residing in the vicinity of Durango, CO. She's much happier in the mountains than among Houston's potholes (and is keeping my R53 company).
New proud owner of #233. Purchased from coopking. Flew to Denver to pick up and drive back to SoCal. Had about 10,300 miles, stock condition. Love it. Thank you coopking!
That must have been a great drive. Congrats and enjoy it! I have several pretty cool cars and love my GP. They are great cars!
Thanks. It was a great drive back. Stopped in Las Vegas and went to favorite place - Windy City Wash & Wax. Needed to get hundreds of bugs off. 😂 We're an all MINI family. GP is no. 9 - currently have five after adding the GP to the stable. My 20-something boy has a '13 JCW R58 and loves the GP. He'd been wanting one since before it came out, so we bought the GP together.
My poor baby got hit today number 213 on my way to work here in Las Vegas nv from St George ur. Fml guy made a left turn in the right lane he was in and cut me off and it was raining so I tried avoid it and his car side swept my baby. It's at mini of Las Vegas I hope for the best no air bags deployed thank god so you guys think they won't total it it's 26300 miles on clock now and I have all service records back it up.

man that sucks!
I see no reason that should get totaled from what's visible in the pictures. Everything is bolt on. Door might even be savable, but I'd push for a new one. Insurance company will probably want to repair and not replace the bumper cover, too. Hood should get replaced, the panel between the hood and door is a bolt on, as is the panel that the plastic trim hangs on. Make sure they plan on replacing those GP-only wheels and not just trying to restore/repair them. (not that they can't be repaired, but its one of 500, right?).
Maybe there's some tweaks at the rear quarter, but the B pillar around the door doesnt look like it got a hit or tug. The quarter can be metal worked. (the B pillar can be repaired, too if it needs to be). The unknown is the rocker under the door - but there's a lot of plastic there before metal gets hit (and again, it can be repaired)
