The wife really wants a Mini having my influence on things it now needs to be a jcw looking around a 2009/2010/2011 age. Am I right in thinking there's a certain age to avoid?
I recommend fully the R53 (up to 2006). The supercharger engine is a better engine and more fun - quite desirable and a bit of a 'cult' car so something that will also hold value and always be easy to sell.
