    Stewart - am I just a bampot, or does the above pic not show 'Lightning Blue'? Laser Blue is/was brighter isn't it? See wee pic below... I like Lightning Blue, as it's similar to the old Indi Blue of my previous MINIs. If I get another MINI (note the 'if'), it would probably some sort of JCW in Lightning Blue with Black roof and alloys - not unlike your pic - different wheels tho'. Still love my PW!!!!!!

    Euan, you are correct. Stewart's picture is Lightning Blue, not Laser Blue.
    MINI F56 Cooper in Deep Blue with black roof and caps.

    I just went and had a nosey around one and this one is an S in Eclipse Grey with black viper stripes, black xenons, leather lounge toffee interior and an AUTOMATIC transmission!!!!

    With the roof folded the boot space is still massive, the unlined roof though is still a big NO NO it just doesn't feel right (looks wise)
    but as a whole the car gets a from me.

    Road tests available from this weekend onwards

    Today I saw the Roadster at Peter Vardy. A lovely looking car, looks really quite sporty. Their's is an S with sports pack (aero kit and challenge wheels) in Eclipse Grey. Lovely tan lounge leather seats also .

    The model they have (and maybe all dealers have at present) is pre-production without an electric top. The roof stows away really neatly and the boot is still pretty big.

    The saleperson said it was not yet known if the visible bars on the roof were as it would be in full production cars. In other words, it might be that "proper" Roadsters get a lined roof.

    Mmmm. I think I might agree. I have no purpose for rear seats other than sticking bags on occasionally, that don't fit in the small boot.
    Really like the eclipse grey
