Cooper S Works GP. 2006 ltd edition 2 seater.

One of these has come up for sale at what seems an excellent price.

£11,500. 3 month warranty. 53,000 miles. FSH. AA Inspection available. 3 owners.

Great buy in your view? Thanx.

Sounds about right for the miles. Fairly low owners too, is it completely standard?

[CorvetteConvert]

Standard and AA report done last week for me to see. New mot. Some seem to be £13 and £14 grand.

Sounds a reasonable price to me - they've been bouncing along in the 10-11K range for a few years so sellers might be starting to speculate. If buyers are ready to start paying more they'll sell and prices go up, otherwise the more expensive cars will sit around.

Check it's a UK original spec (check VIN at dealer), as several of them were imported from Japan when interest peaked with the GP2's launch bringing them back into the limelight.

I bought it. Not perfect but pretty good all over.
New tyres, fsh, Clifford immobiliser and tracker fitted also.
Anyone know what spark plugs it takes (NGK) ?

[sad61t]

I'd probably go for these:

I believe the plugs required are listed on the JCW authenticity certificate that should have come with the car.

I bought my GP 3 weeks ago for £13,600 with 27k miles, 2 owners and full BMW service history. These are starting to creep up in money from what ive seen too.

Congrats, have mine now for a few months, and absolutely love it. Decided to spend a few quid on freshening it up, but well worth it as the way it now drives is superb, especially with new brakes and non-RFTs
