I will be attending the media launch of the MINI One and MINI Cooper Diesel on the 11th April 2007. There should be wi-fi access at the event, in which case live updates and photos will be posted when possible from the event.

Excellent! my One was meant to go into production last Monday but didn't and has been put back until week 16. So will be very interested in any reports, and Hiccup is rather taken by the D...

Thanks Paul!!

Exclusive: MINI2 Drives the new MINI One

Finally.

Have to say, after driving the Cooper D in particular, the One was a little underwhelming.

Mini Me GB · Apr 12th, 2007, 08:40 AM

How come the test ONE has a light grey/silver interior on the door panels etc - I tried every combo on the configurator and couldn't get this colour.. Just wondering, thanks

Mini E · Apr 12th, 2007, 08:51 AM

Paul do I take it you drove the Cooper D first??

Paul · Apr 12th, 2007, 09:09 AM

All it says is "Interior World - Gotham Grey" and "Cloth COSMOS" in terms of additional interior specs.

Paul · Apr 12th, 2007, 09:10 AM

I got the Cooper D first and took it out very early as I wanted to try and get in each car alone, and the D had had most build up/PR.

Mini E · Apr 12th, 2007, 09:43 AM

Cool - thanks Paul!

I saw that in the gallery. I love that, and its free!!!! Looks miles better than std. form.

Wasn't sure on the longevity of the lighter colour, but it provided a better contrast with the standard grey ellipse trim, which I'm not keen on anyway.

Mini E · Apr 16th, 2007, 01:40 PM

thank goodness i'm not having that colour on the doors!! was really worried for a bit but went to test drive the one at my local dealers on Sat and the inside of the doors are dark grey. i've ordered anthracite roof lining so i was worried what the contrast would be like!
