I live very close to Gaydon, so spotting prototypes all the time....(theres been about 2-3 cooper S' around for ages). My Dealer - says he has driven 2 convertibles at gaydon, one with hard-folding roof (similar to 206 CC) and one with fabric roof. They are deciding which one to go for - hard roof takes place of rear seats. He has his name down for one already and they should be out summer 2003.
