GP Owners Club addition

[GPandy]

Hey everyone,

Recently added a new group for all the GP owners out there in bonnie Scotland (and beyond!)

If I get a good enough response, I will be putting together a proper club and site, so give me a shout if your interested!

You can find the club in the Quick Links tab at the top of the page under Social Groups named GP Owners Club or stick the link below in your browser:

Cheers guys and hope to hear from you soon!!!

[ianking]

There is one for sale in a garage next to Kinross (Milnathort Motor Company)
I went to view the car and had a feeling it had been in a crash, returned
with a mate and he said it has been bumped panel gap was not right and cataloy (not right spelling) dust everywhere :eek::eek::eek: so keep away:frown::frown:

Yes I also went to view that car with the intention of buying it about 6 months ago. Had the deposit in my back pocket. Very excited by the price and the number that was included with it. Looked at the front and walked straight away from it. The scuttle panel is still bent. Also looked like the engine had been lifted out as there were tell tale marks around the engine mounts. Overspray all over the side as well. I mentioned to the guy and he said 'oh its had a wee bit paint but that is all'.

I then popped up to JC Aberdeen as they had 2 for sale about 6 months ago, took a test drive and quite liked it but the other half was not so keen as only 2 seats. Bought the 130 instead.

[Smitty]

Yup :smilewinkgrin:

That'll be the one I seen being pulled over by the police a few months back then!! :hand:

[GP BILLY]

I phone and asked to buy the reg plate but they would not sell it...:ragin::ragin: I see they have dropped the price again (still not worth it)

Seen a pic on another forum with a GP fitted with back seats(there you go BS:thumbs up:)

[Gismo]

Seen a pic on another forum with a GP fitted with back seats(there you go BS:thumbs up:)There is a thread on MINI2 with a fitting kit with the parts named that you need.
But, for me it would spoil the car, the GP is meant to have 2 seats :thumbs up:

My god Bonnie Scotland - you are so right - adding back seats to a GP is like adding mayonnaise to chocolate cake! It just isn't right! lol

Off to destroy that thread on MINI2 lol :argh:

[gpmick]

Putting seats in a GP is not allowed :eek::eek:

Its a GP :thumbs up::thumbs up:

[RyanK]

I think Ryans uncle still has his.... :confused: (T1OOL) ;)

[gpmick]

[ianking]

The one with 4500 odd miles was the one I test drove and was going to buy back in April so they have had it in stock for a wee while.

There is one with 50 miles for sale on autotrader at the moment for £19995 which doesnt seem unreasonable

GP06 BUZ was sold and then traded back in as the owner was pregnant.

What was the reg number?

[ianking]

It started Y and was a 56 plate. Im sure it was GP1200

[Craig]

if it started YC then it's most prob an Oxford car... ;)

[ianking]

Jst checked their web site. YK56 ZCU. Im pretty sure that was the one I drove back in April. I cant see the roof number from the pics.

Why did you want the reg? what was it:confused:

not the YK plate surely???

[GP BILLY]

The reg was

J6 WGP
Easly made to look like
JCW GP

[gpmick]

Does anybody know what the roof number was on this car??

Any of you GP owners coming to Catton hall 7 September? :cool:

[gpmick]

Was the GP with the reg J6 WGP the one that had accident damage??

Urgent reply to this please

[Craig]

yeah, I am sure Ian King said that was the case...

[ianking]

yes the car at Milnathort has def had a heavy amount of paint. Thats the polite way of putting it.

[gpmick]

Was that the GP with the reg J6 WGP
or is that a diffrent car?

Reason im asking is I know who has bought it and if it is the same car want him to know but want to be sure its the same car first

He has seen it and seems happy with it today

[Craig]

yeah it is defo the same car you are talking about. :frown:

[gpmick]

Thanks for your help :thumbs up:

Spoke to the person who is buying this GP and he has seen the car and is happy with it
In view of whats been said on here hes going to have another look on monday
He says thanks to you guys too :thumbs up:

[ianking]

I would defo proceed with caution on that car.

If it was my money then I wouldnt be buying it. There is another GP for the same money for sale down south. Perhaps its not been up a tree and would make a better purchase.
