06 Mini Cooper GP #344 Excellent Condition Rare Mini Cooper with only 415 offered for sale in the US and it had a significant number of unique features, which included: Assembled in Bertone, Italy from a “body-in-white” kit manufactured at the MINI plant in Oxford, EnglandThe most powerful first generation production engine, with John Cooper Works upgrade, further boosted to approx 215hp / 180ftlb torqueWeight savings of almost 100lb by removing the rear seat and substituting aluminum rear control armsUnique “Thunder Blue” body color, with silver roof and contrasting red mirror capsUnique aero kit, including carbon fiber rear “wing” spoiler and underbody panelling for improved aerodynamicsUnique 18? lightweight wheelsUnique “anthracite” speedometer & rev counter dialsThe GP has been garaged, pampered, waxed (Zaino) and well maintained. Used mostly for a weekend getaway car as nothing drives quite like it. The handling, performance and confidence the car inspires is quite breathtaking. In the city, I average 26mpg. On the highway, 34mpg. And thats driving normally. We now have a little boy and have little use for a 2 seater. It's such a shame because I have a deep love for this car. I've changed the front grille, replaced the factory run flats (horrid) with Nitto Summer Tires and had the dealer tint the windows. Other than that nothing has ever gone wrong with this car. Only regular maintenance and a frequent coat of Zaino. The car has rarely seen rain, never snow. I do have several performance parts that I purchased last summer but never had installed. They are: Miltek-style ceramic coated header Bavarian Auto-Sport Full Stainless Cat BackK&N Intake FilterEach of the above are new and can be purchased separately if wanted. I can drop the car off and have these installed at the new owner's choice. Included is the window sticker and marketing materials in the pictures. I've driven new and old Mini's and there is still nothing quite like a GP. Here's to hoping she goes to a good home. Thanks for looking.
