    That’s the first I’ve heard of two versions but IF it’s true it wouldn’t be a shock.
    I am very sceptical about the info but you never know...
    The quoted prices equals £40,563 and £38,808 at today’s rate which I personally think will lead to the increase in those that have already cancelled their order.
    The original did have the single option of with/without a/c but I don’t know of a single GP that did not have the a/c fitted.

    I think the £40k mark has been getting thrown around for a while so I dont think that should be much of a shock to those who placed serious orders

    Although from all the facebook comments I'm sure I've seen close to 3000 people say they have cancelled their order so I think some people are telling porkies.

    I’ve said for ages that it’d be a £40K car.
    I did cancel my order but does it count if I cancelled it before I actually placed it ?

    “IF” the info is genuine it does make some sort of sense.
    For those who pay cash for their cars a £40K+ price tag for a MINI may seem just too much whereas £38K may seem more reasonable.

    I don’t think they are doing it, if 2 specs is true, to have an expensive GP and a poverty spec are but more for those that will use their car daily and those that will use theirs as more of a toy, hence the track spec.

    The idea of 2 specs seems reasonable, after all Renault have done it for years with The Cup option.

    But a 'Cup' spec jars massively with an autobox IMO

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