Was in Menzies, Stirling a few days ago and this Cooper was in the Showroom for 22K. You'll either love it or hate it. Meant to say on original posting, not obvious from pictures but rear seats are yellow as well.

Ooh, those seats are bright!!! Quite like the stripes though, it's unusual anyway!

I love that, apart from the seats...but then again, it would look daft with normal seats!

OMG, that is horrible, how could anyone actually look at that and consider giving £22k for it :frown:

seats should have been better black and yellow. How can a retrim and some vinyl bring the car up to 22k must have chilli and sport package.

That's just wrong.

How can they call it a Hornet? Where's it's wee stickie out boot?

And it's NEVER worth £22k! :hand:

+1 I would have that. I like the look of the seats

Not at £22k. I wonder what is with the Dealers and their stupidly priced specials just now?

The Mini Hornet at only twenty two thousand, once you’ve bought it you’ll know you’ve been stung.
Just as silly as some of the prices for some of the Mini S at the dealers.

22k and when you've realised your error and trade it in for a decent colour they offer you the normal book for a Cooper.

Not even as simple as that... They are likely to charge you for returning it to standard as well. Otherwise it can't be on their "cherished" list. :ragin:

'Me so Hornet, me make you sick longtime!'

Well if you pay 22K for THAT - you're Buzzin' Mental! Simply terrible. It's like a 'Great Idea' somebody with too much time on their hands had, started to do it, realised how awful it was, but kept going anyway because they'd paid for the vinyl and the seats.

At least nobody would park on it, run into it... or be seen dead in it. I mean, you can have a basic Factory R56 JCW for that sort of money. Can't wait for the Special Edition 'Dung Beetle' Chocolate Brown Clubbie. You'd be getting lawsuits from other drivers and pedestrians for causing Migraines every time you drove it anywhere. You can attract attention by walking down the street stark naked and painted bright yellow - doesn't mean you'd want to do it though. (Well not more than once anyway...) Sum up? BUZZ OFF.

Yikes, i didn't realise it was 22k, no chance lol. Its almost like a Mini version of the Civic Hornet from the days of Benson and Hedges sponsoring the Jordans.

It's certainly different and I quite like the outside. Don't know where they get the price though.
