    Time will tell. I need to drive a gen 1 GP. I can say mine is a hoot and last I checked the prices on the GP2 seemed to be stabilizing. Plus it appears it will be the last version with a manual. :(

    I believe the GP1 was the last car built by Bertone before they closed.

    It’s also an RMW GP with BVH and Race Cam. Would like to see Dyno sheet.

    Close to 20k but not over it, so my bid is $18,500.

    $17,000 - most bidders there are not aware of what those extra parts are worth

    well, it's already above $17k and two days to go. I guess some of our regulars here are bidding? ;)

    And sold $36000, way over priced, I think even if you have a shred of intelligence, you might think this one smelled a bit, but maybe someone is a lucky owner now, but it will not be a driver on daily I am sure.

    I’d like to say that with falls cooler temperatures people would come to their senses but probably not so I’ll guess high at 26k.

    $20,100 with 2 1/2 hours to go. This will go up if there are 2 or more who really want it. I think the trick to get crazy money is to take 20 pictures of a paint depth gauge all over the car. Subliminal "collector car" message.

    Ok, cash in all your Christmas gift cards to put a bid in on this 8k mile GP example

    https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2006-mini-gp-23/

    Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee
    #700
    8k miles
    looks totally stock, comes with the GP custom car cover and Mini branded wash bucket o_O
    3 owners, first one had it 10 years and 3500 miles.

    I am guessing that this one won't sell as high as the recent low mile examples, mostly because the seller picked he wrong time of year to let it go. Everyone is broke. My guess is it'll bid to $22,000 and that likely is below the reserve.

    That's just crazy! I thought about a Gen 1 GP some three years ago when I got my '05 JCW, Rufus. I decided that I like modding and making the car my own too much and couldn't bring myself to do it to a GP and destroy the value that way. I would have wanted to keep it OEM stock and that just took too much of the fun out of the ownership experience for me. Plus... a car shouldn't be an investment, in my mind... it should be a pleasure. If I thought "What if I'm in a wreck and lose 20k of value when I'm out on that club drive this weekend", I wouldn't enjoy the car as much.

    It’s great that there are some pristine low mileage cars out there but then again it’s sad because they were never meant not to be driven and enjoyed.
