Owners Thoughts (if you care to read): I am the original owner of this 2006 Mini Cooper S JCW GP, which I have decided to sell because of my new job driving constraints. Let me first say that I have had a spare-no-expense approach to this car since I have owned it. Also, if you are new to knowing about this car just google it and you will quickly understand what it means to be an owner of a GP. This car is limited - only 415 shipped to the US and all of us original owners were put on a waiting list to get one. I have saved every piece of documentation including all of the flyers, mailers, and maintenance docs regarding this car. All service has been done either at Mini of Peabody in Peabody, MA or Turner Motorsport in Amesbury, MA. Over the 8 years of owning this car I have kept it garaged and pampered. The car has a few really small dents around the body from miscellaneous road pebbles, etc. and normal driving conditions (see photos). The body and paint otherwise is in excellent shape and is hard waxed 2 times a year. The last price I got from our local Dent Wizard to remove the dents was around 500 dollars which I factored in when pricing the car. I will do my best to take pictures of each dent for those who cannot come see the car in person. For those people who have serious interest in this car and are not local, I can video gchat (on my phone) with you if you would like a full real-time tour of the car in order to show you as much as possible. I also have the title in hand for those people who would need to register it and drive it home out of state (i.e. no waiting). I am also including numerous extras, as noted above, which are included in the list price. Please note: If you want a used Mini Cooper S (as opposed to a JCW GP) you probably should just buy a used Mini Cooper S, which you could pick up for 10k-15k anywhere. If you want a car that you rarely, if ever, see on the road and when you do, you pull over to meet the person (jump high five included), make note of the number on the roof, talk about how much you love the car, and what you have done to it, you probably are looking for a GP. Are you looking for the fastest production Mini ever made (pre 2013, new model might be a few clicks more)? Are you looking for the most bad-a$$ production Cooper ever made? If yes, then I would recommend the GP. I would also recommend reading the background about this car before jumping into emailing me questions. For instance, this car has no back seats, nor a rear windshield wiper...do your research, please. Also take a look and inform yourself to what other GP's are selling for. Do not compare a GP to any other John Cooper Works or S models. There are not many for sale out there, some are collector minded and some are low miles. There are a lot of forums out there for GP owners too - sign up and ask some questions if you need to. If you have any other specific questions please do not hesitate to ask, but please do not waste my or your time 'tire kicking' or nickel and dimming me. This is a serious car for a serious and spirited driver who loves Mini and wants the coolest one made to date. Thanks for reading and checking out this listing. p.s. all modifications/upgrades to this car can be undone however I have taken tremendous care to conceal aftermarket items in order to preserve this special edition car, while still upgrading beyond some of the OEM Mini standard stuff. Additional Photos: Let me know and I can send you a link (the ebay gods do not allow it in the listing) There are a lot more photos and most have comments and descriptions. Leave me a comment if you have any questions. Shipping The car located in Massachusetts, the buyer is responsible for all shipment costs and coordination. I will help with timing and make myself available for test drives for serious buyers only. If the buyer needs to fly in to drive the car home, I am can meet at the airport or Bus stations locally. |

2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop officially revealed
Mon, 18 Nov 2013There are occasions in life when something happens in the outside world and I think, "Damn. I wish Dad was here so we could talk about this."
In the past 13 years, that's happened every time Mini unveils a new model. And that's been quite often in the 12 years since the car was reintroduced - it has expanded to include seven different models, which is a testament to how quickly the updated Mini caught on. My Dad, who passed away in 1996, loved the brand. His first car was a Mini, and he'd race it in illegal rallies around the Irish countryside in his 20s, before he emigrated to the US and tried to (mostly) stay on the right side of the law.
Mini released photos and specs for the third-generation "original" hardtop car today. The company had to slap in the term "original" in there to differentiate it from the Convertible, longer-wheelbase Clubman, Countryman crossover, Paceman three-door crossover, Coupe and Roadster. Coming out with that many nameplates in 13 years is unprecedented growth for a company that's essentially brand-new in the US.
Classic Rover Mini is a passion-inspiring plaything
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Ask anyone that's driven a classic Mini, and they'll probably tell you that their first reaction to driving it was a lot like the start of this video - whooping, shouting, laughing and a whole lot of smiling. This video, from Jon Quirk, editor-in-chief at Auto Trader UK, highlights the connection between him and his Rover Mini Paul Smith. He really nails the man-machine interface that makes owning a great car so much fun. Besides that, Quirk does a good job of enumerating what is so enjoyable about driving a fun car on a twisting road.
For our British readers, this video is also meant to test the waters for a new format from Auto Trader UK, called "I Bought One." With Quirk's Mini, the car-buying site is looking at telling the story of people and their interesting cars. We think this video is a great start, with high production value and solid content. Head on over to the YouTube channel, and let them know what you think. But first, scroll on down for the entire video on this awesome Rover Mini.
Mini JCW GP to be hatchback only, no 'Ring record attempt in sight
Wed, 14 Nov 2012The 2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP is dropping weight and lowering its lap times, but one thing it won't be losing is its flat roof. Like the original JCW GP package, Evo says that despite the fact that sportier Mini Coupes have been caught testing, the new GP will only be offered in the three-door Cooper hatchback body style. And that's perfectly fine with us.
Evo spoke with GP development chief Jorg Weidinger who said that as a part of the car's history, "It was a hatch, it is a hatch and it should stay a hatch." Weidinger also said that Mini is not planning to set any Nürburgring records with the new JCW GP even though earlier reports indicate that the car is a full 20 seconds faster around the 'Ring than its 2006 predecessor.
The new Mini John Cooper Works GP weighs 121 pounds less than the John Cooper Works Hardtop, offers a fully adjustable coil-over suspension and it will have a starting price of $39,950, (including $700 for destination) when it goes on sale later this year.
