Equipment
1600/250hp supercharged four (up from the stock 214hp), 6-speed, OGS clutch, short shift kit, high flow cylinder head, alloy wheels, Hankook tires, rally lights, carbon mirror caps, Momo steering wheel and seats.
Condition
The 4,033 miles are commendably low, especially given how tempting it would be to take this car on quick blasts to the store at every opportunity, but it's desirability is offset somewhat by the numerous mods, regardless of how much they cost to implement.
Market commentary
With a stripped out interior with a body brace where the rear seats should be, extra horsepower and rarity (a little over 400 for the U.S. market), the '06 JCW GP is the most desirable of the early BMW Minis. But it's not the kind of car that shows up at auctions like this since Minis not on the radar of most collectors. A few have popped up on Bring a Trailer selling for a wide range of prices depending on mileage, with one 4,000-mile car bringing $36,000 last year. Meanwhile, this one may have nearly 30 grand worth of upgrades put into it, but it would have sold more here if it looked more like it did at the factory.
