Try asking on one of the following:

www.minitorque.com

www.totalmini.com

www.mini2.com

They all have dedicated gp forums and theres a good chance someone will know of the car you are looking at.

Hi,

That looks like a nice example, there is one for sale at Rybrook Worcester too, bit more on the cash side but it looked very clean when I wondered in the other day......

Cheers

Cheers guys, may come as a bit of a shock but the GP is £200 more exspensive to insure for me than on the Noble 3R haha WTF!!!

lol!

Seems to depend who you go with, the cooper s (new one) was 700pa with most, yet only 400pa with Diamond......!?

Shop around if you can!

I was going to say to check the insurance, I looked into getting one and gave up when I was quoted £2k (cheapest)
Ended up going for a standard S and with a few bit to give you almost the same car the insurance would be aboout £600. I've not gone that far though.

Im 23 and pay about £650 for the Noble which is silly cheap for how quick the car is etc but i cant justify paying an extra £200 for a car thats nowhere near as quick etc..i really dont get insurance companies its really strange lol.

The insurance on GPs is madness. I was looking at getting myself into one back in time but I just couldnt justify the huge premium over a standard S/Works S. The quote for a GP turned out to be more than double the price of a quote for an M3, utter madness..
