    Interesting, an S engine with no bonnet scoop.
    The interior, like the last one, to me, is hideous, whoever thought tan interiors were smart should be shot, this is defo one Mini i wouldn't buy given the cost

    Was in the Dealers there and a Cooper S nothing fancy although the inside looked like it had gone down the expensive tick box but still a S £24K.

    But 41K
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    £41K? What a load of Pretentiousness gone mad.
    Rather than buying one of these, save your money and just get a T-Shirt which says
    "I'm a Total D*ck" although you probably get one FREE with the car.

    I'd take great delight in blowing it into the weeds at the first opportunity, just for a laugh. Moreover, for that sort of money I'd have a nearly new Cayman S on the road.

    2008 R56 COOPER S, Pepper White, Black Roof, 'John Cooper' Signature Side and Bonnet Stripes, JCW 'Stage 1' Tuning Kit, Forge Intercooler, Milltek Downpipe & Sports Cat, ALTA Induction, Chris Knox/DNA Remap, JCW/Brembo Brakes, Limited Slip Diff, JCW Suspension and Front Strut Brace, 17" Crown Spokes with Non-Runflat 205/45x17 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, JCW/Recaro leather Seats, JCW Sideskirts, Chili Pack, Front Spotlights. Still got my old Hendrix Badge blu-tacked to the dash!

    I STILL wouldn't!!!

    Let's face it, if you're going to throw £41K at a MINI, there are SO MANY better ways of doing it. Think of the performance and, if needs be, styling/paint mods you could have on an S/JCW for that sort of outlay. I'd have the MINI equivalent of the Porsche GT3 RS, AND it would be my own ideas - not a poncey pretentious 'off the peg' marketing gimmick.

    ^^ this. A factory JCW, with nice wheels, coilovers, corner-weighted, buckets & harnesses, and Evolve power bits to get 300bhp would still be cheaper. And look better


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Agreed. I guess the only thing going for it is its depreciation which should in theory be very small.
