2006 Mini GP GP56 MCS

[mattferrari]

Hey fellow PHers,
Back in September 2006 my father was lucky enough to be selected for a brand new GP.
Needless to say we fell in love instantly. Unfortunately we had to sell the car. As I enjoyed this car so much, I'm thinking of possibly buying one in the future.
Anyway I was wondering if the magic of pistonheads could help me find out where our one is now.
It's a 56 reg with the reg being GP56 MCS, no mods when we sold it, full leather interior. Unfortunately I was a lot younger back then so I can't remember the actual number.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Matt

Hey chris,
Just shown my dad the picture of the car! He's realised how much he misses it, if you are ever on the mind to sell the car please let us know. You can email me at [e-mail].
Thanks for getting in touch, the car looks amazing!

Thanks guys, they are amazing cars, although still very underestimated. Nice to see abit of positive press coverage in recent months on ph and in evo.

Certainly enjoying the car with living in the lakes also been on a few road trips up to glencoe in it. hopefully taking it back to its homeland of northern Italy in the summer too.

Regarding selling it , could possible be thinking of a change at the end of the year so will be certain to let u know first before advertising it, as I would like to see it go back to its original home.

P.s did your dad pick the number plate?

Good to hear you're having a lot of fun!
It'd be great if you could contact us if that is the case!!
Yeah dad chose the plate especially, I remember the stress of trying to obtain it! We had to wait an extra few days just so we could have the 56 plate!
Thanks,
Matt
