Apparently sdmidget is correct that it is specific to the U.S. market to equip Coopers with spares whether or not they're ordered with run-flats. My motoring advisor (love that!) obligingly looked under the skirts of the two 03 Coopers that recently arrived on her lot. Both have 16" run-flats, both have spares. Which suits me fine.
She discovered something else missing, though: the auxiliary electrical output seems to have disappeared.
