Very nice Lee
I’m loving mine, especially since it’s a manual as I haven’t driven one since selling my Z4M in 2015

Had an R53 Cooper S as a company car. Took delivery in October 2003 and managed to clock up 75,000 miles in the next 3 years. Absolutely loved it and there were no mechanical issues with it during my ownership. It did like to go through front tyres rather quickly!
I have also owned a mint low mileage GP1 about 5 years ago. That was a cracking car too and got lots of attention. Wish I had kept that one but it had to make way for an M Roadster.

I had the same in 2017 - less fortunate with mechanical issues!Boyo wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 5:34 pm Had an R53 Cooper S as a company car.

It would overheat if stationary in traffic for more than about 30 seconds. I got full value from the AA that year.
One of my favourite cars nonetheless, always put a smile on my face. Well, less so when broken down, but you know what I mean...

Just followed a Bini through Gunnislake. It had Cooper S on the back, but man it was huge. Alas I don't know enough about the range to hazard a guess which model they have now stuck that once sacred branding on. Hopefully you are getting something more car sized.

Roof down motoring really adds to the driving experience I reckon.
Those Cooper S stripes look good on your old one.

I'm on my 4th Mini since 2003, current 2017 Countryman Cooper S with the 8 speed auto/paddles has been faultless so far and still a great package, giving decent performance/handling/comfort and space. I've done 33k miles and it's still on the original rear tyres, fronts lasted about 22k. Long-term mpg has been 36-39 mpg on V-power, and I can tell within a few days if it has 95 octane in as pick up is noticeably sluggish.
Only critism is the inability to fit a tow bar to Countryman Cooper S / JCW or All4 models due to exhaust positions, although a couple of after-market makers appear to list lightweight bars that are supposed to fit, I'm not sure if other models are affected? But that's nit-picking.
Enjoy
