Place a deposit on a MCS over the weekend. I hope to pick it up later this week.

What do you think:



Spec: 05 plate, full leather, auto climate control, heated seats, JCW aero kit, LSD, DSC, heated mirrors, radio boost, chili pack and a few other things that I can not remember from memory

Yep. redgistered years ago as I have always been interested in Minis but have mainly spent my time on here and wanted to share with PH as well.

Mini2 is a great site. Lots of info to be found.

no yours is definitely electirc blue.
i was just pretty sure that by 05 reg you could only get hyper (the more 'ford racing' type colour which mine is). but you might have been able to get electric...

maybe you couldn't get indi anymore but electric and hyper ran alongside and then they introduced the really dark blue for the park lanes..

i know ( smile ) i was just wondering if this was special order - thought it would be good for 'yoo hoo' to know! i've got a book at home i'll try and have a look for you nerd i might actually have the contemporary catalogue too...

i know on the r56 a few people have spec'd other blues from the bmw range because the ones they were offereing weren't quite right (they deleted Hyper didn't they??).

it'd be great to to be wealthy enough to be able to risk resale and go for viper green or gulf blue or something!

Very nice spec, any blue with a white roof is the best! Aero kit makes it even better
