    The depreciation may actually be huge, as in 5 years time, what is it? Just another Mini, with different coloured bits on it. No-one will pay a premium for one with 60k on the clock over a JCW of the same age


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

    Yes Greig, possibly a very small fortune! As Mon intimated, the vast majority of people would just laugh at the price you'd be trying to recoup for what is basically, in their eyes, just a highly specced S with a posh interior. Be interesting to see what Trade-In you'd be offered at you local dealer after a couple of years.... You could probably swap it for a new COOPER - which would be a better bet in the first place!

    You could do so much more to a Mini with £41k in your back pocket and make a better job than their proposed options, i'd hate to think how much either would lose driving out the showroom door

    I see loads of these as I'm often at the Gaydon site, they look really mad and just wrong. They serve a purpose, but all show and no go...
