My dealer said that come march Mini ONE will be available in GOLD ( hard to imagine as I equate Gold with 1975 Nissans ) - However I do like the Metalic Burgundy that only the ONE gets - I might have had that in preference to BRG for my S.

PS Saw George Best in Putney the other day - numberplate G8 EST - He was driving a Cooper Silver/Black Roof ( This was about two weeks before his liver operation.

To all our non Brit readers Georgr is probally one of the best footballers ( you say soccer ) of all time - and he drives MINI!

I think your dealer (or somewhere) may have fed you some duff information.

The Velvet Red (burgandy colour) is for the Cooper and One, but not the 'S' (as far as I know). Also, Gold will NOT be exclusive to the MINI One, and it will be in place of Silk Green. I'm not sure if gold will be on the S, because silk green (which it's replacing) isn't, but I've not heard that it wont be.
