If its you, you need to eat a little more healthily, else all that weight saving on the GP will be in vain! You were spotted in the car park of KFC in Llandudno!

He rings me when he sees one as i am number 0524!

Phew! Although, it would have made the GP rarer

Was the 225 hp at the flywheel or at the wheels? Is it stock? Where are 1320 based?

I heard two have gone already anyway? One was crashed and another in a fire? Check the list somewhere on this forum but I'm 99% sure that's what I've read...unfortunately

UPDATE: Sorry to say that according to this link I'm right ...

0991 - now deceased scrapheap in Leeds UK
1696 - USA - gone, total loss due to fire

PLUS (just found)...

0042 - STOLEN! Madrid Spain
1990 - STOLEN! UK

So who knows where those two might be - plus some are missing from the list as not every GP has obviously been spotted, and some don't come to MINI2 - so there may be even more casualties

Not sure about this one; I don't think 0042 was originally destined for Spain.

I've just seen 1572 in the car park at my gym, Stoke Park Club just outside Slough. Doesn't look like its anyone from on here though as it isn't on the roof number list.
