I noticed that. The discount and number available suggests they didn’t all sell rather than just cancelled orders I think.

Anyone heard anything about how these have sold?

The central stripe seems very different to the publicity photos from May. It’s a lot less gray and looks poor.

I'm not surprised they didn't sell given they are massively overpriced and a new gen JCW is due in 2024.

Has anyone seen any details or spy shots for that yet?

Wondering if it will help knock down F56 prices a bit, but depends how good or how ugly it is I guess.

Just had a look at the cars that are being advertised on AutoTrader. They are nice but no wonder they didn't sell out at the asking price.

One odd thing I noticed is that x2 of the cars are on GoodYear and x1 is on Pirelli tyres, both runflats. I would have thought they would have supplied all cars with the same tyres?

Have you got it yet? What do you think of it and the stripe in particular?

All quiet here. Now 12 for sale on auto trader with discounts up to £1100 and I suspect more if you turned up ready to buy.

Anyone had a good look at one or even got one yet? Thoughts on the spec?

I’d buy a low miles GP3 and keep the change
I love a manual but the price is a joke and I suspect some will still be for sale next Easter unless they become 33k cars
Currently running a F56 Sd with a stick shift and the price gap to upgrade is the wrong side of 30k

Doesn't seem to be much interest in these. Now 15 for sale and recently one had a £1900 discount.

Having had my own bad experience with one which led to rejection I can't say I'm surprised. The stripe is a shockingly bad quality that should be nowhere near a £20k car let alone £40k and to add insult the 4 I have looked at have all had serious installation faults and body damage as a result of the stripe application.

There are 16 advertised on AT before looking at other sources.

£40k is far too much money for that car.

"Special" Edition overpriced Minis don't sell very fast. It was the same with the 306 Clubman/Countryman and will be the same with the final edition Clubman.

I can't really see the point in paying £40k for that when you can get much the same thing still young, for half the price. My recently bought 2016 JCW (with JCW Pro exhaust which you can't get on this) was just over a quarter of the price and pretty much exactly the same car bar a couple of specced up bits that I could take or leave.

Quite funny that they're making out that a manual gearbox that has, until now, always been available on a JCW is something to boast about.

For £40k I couldn't settle for any less than a GP3, although shame you can't get those in manual, but they are pretty mental nonetheless.

for me a mini has to be manual and however “good” the auto is it just doesn’t interest me in a mini.

Now 20 for sale with up to £2k off. Clearly not in demand.

What is the panel's verdict on whether the GP3 will drop much under £30k over the course of next year?
