| I'm actually not at all surprised by the high turnover of the GPs since there are , in my opinion, only 2 kinds of people who would have bought it:
1. Guys who wanted the novelty of owning something 'special' and to give themselves bragging rights of owning the latest, hottest car. Once the novelty factor wore off, they decided to move on to other things (like a Bugatti?), hence the sale.
2. Guys who are simply passionate about the Mini and understand its intrinsic value - they won't sell their cars in the short-term, ever. |
