    I was quite surprised how much the coupe and roadster got as standard. A lot of things that were options on the hatch were just added on. Like parking sensors I had no idea they were standard

    It would look great with the Black Line Headlights and rear lights and all black trims.

    ...just in case you need any help spending more money on it.

    Yeah, it surprised me a tad as well.
    I’m sure that the basic JCW Roadster was £24K.

    Sounds like you’ve made up your mind Mark. You never seemed to be totally happy with your current car. Looking forward to how it progresses.

    Right mind is made up,

    I'm going for it.

    I have really enjoyed Nigel (my 2nd R56) but he was the best of a bad situation after my accident I didnt anything close to the amount I deserved for my last S, RIPieces Benji, and I couldn't get insured on a clubby or coupe so a hatch was my only option to stay with mini. I certainly wont regret getting a 2nd R56 and I dare say I'd definitely be up for having another as a side project in the future. But for now I'm totally smitten by the Coupe (Name pending).

    Nigel wont be going anywhere in an immediate hurry as he will need to be properly tarted up to be put on sale.
