SamD Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Nice car and welcome to TSN! Have you got a buyer yet? I reckon you might make some money on that judging by how quickly the allocation was sold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamD Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'd have thought that BMW would be able to find you a buyer much more reliably than eBay.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3malawimatt Posted October 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 nope, ordered it last year when i was living with my ex partner and had two incomes, unfourtunately i have now had to buy myself a house and kit it out and with a £1000 a month mortgage and bills cannot afford to have two brand new cars sitting on the drive. Donations gratefully recieved. Have also now sold it for list. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorburn Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Whats a GP500? Do you mean the Works GP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Yes the BMW Mini GP500, dont think its refered to as a Works though, not sure.... it is a limited run of just 500 cars based on the Mini Cooper S but with no rear seats and very tuned... sounds good and doesnt half go either..... nice motor, basic OTR is £22k but alot of them have been sold for more.... probably the last Mini to be build be the Cooper family....

Thorburn Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thats the one, its the 'Mini Cooper S Works GP'. No such thing as the GP500... (It would get confused with the motorbike racing for starters) Very nice though, got shown round one pre-delivery in the workshop at the dealership in Swindon. Bit expensive for what it is though.

Thorburn Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I'd guess the software on the camera doesn't adjust for daylight savings Takes the Bazza method instead, it'll be right in 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
