I've just seen the photo at the beginning of this thread. It's quite interesting however, I doubt that any of these is the final 2007
MINI. If you look close enough, you'll notice at least three completely different grille treatments. The one with the open bonnet seems to have a grille similar to current
MINIs, whereas the one next to it and the one on the far right have deeper, more aggressive looking ones.
One more thing: I agree with those who prefer the current clamshell bonnet!
