Hi everyone
My name is Paul and I have owned Classic Minis all my driving life, first being a ‘79 1275GT back in 1985.
Currently own four Classic Minis and thought it was about time I got a new MINI for my daily drive.
Just gathering info at the moment but, looking at 2015/16/17 petrol Cooper S.
Looking forward to joining in when I eventually get a MINI.

I live down in the SW near to Port William.

Regards.

Welcome to NMS Paul :thumbs up:

The F-series MINI (3rd generation) was introduced in 2014 so the years you're looking at will all be 3rd generation models. The F-series Cooper S is a great little car.

According to some people the 3rd generation lost a little bit of that loveable MINI charm but the trade-off is a very reliable and refined platform and, in my opinion, it's still every bit as fun and MINI to drive!

Welcome to NMS. As Ali has said above the F56 cars are still every bit as enjoyable as any other generation MINI I’ve owned. There’s plenty out there in various different specs, so I’m sure you’ll find one to meet your wants.

Mrs C has an F55 SD & I thoroughly enjoy every turn I get to drive, the pulling power is addictive :cool:
