Long term Mini driver here, had a few classic minis in the 1960/70s and a couple of modern ones: 1st Gen Cooper and a 2nd gen 'S'. I part exchanged my 'S' 12 months ago (for a Peugeot) and immediately regretted it. I just ordered a Cooper from Barons in Farnborough hopefully to be delivered by March
It's going to be:
Electric Blue
Pepper Pack
Heated front screen
Folding Mirrors
Rear park control
Looking forward to getting it and learning from the experiences of all you good folk on here.
That's a great build I also love the electric blue, so much so I was willing to wait on a car to get the features I wanted in that color. I wish I had been able to get the folding mirrors, but that's OK.
Indeed, the "Heated Powerfold Mirrors & Washer Jets" option is available for the 5 door, @MiniManiac. When I talked to the saleperson about the build I wanted, she said there was a car already on its way to the US that had most of the options I wanted in electric blue. That car, which I bought, had not had the powerfold mirrors installed.
I could have done a custom build and included them, but I would have had to wait 4 or so months for delivery. Admittedly, I was impatient
