YES! Indeed I can have the options fitted to a cooper S, but that ship has passed with the arrival of the new Mini which I cannot stand the look of. So if possible I would have no objection to getting a used MCS but it would need to be/have:

Hyper Blue,
White roof, mirrors,
R90 Anthracites,
xenons,
Harmon Kardon sound,
Parktronic,
Sports seat,
3-spoke wheel,
Climate control

AND NOT include:
Automatic,
Body kit of any kind,
leather (thought the finish was a bit like vinyl)
and tasteless chrome bits on the exterior.

Yes I am fussy, but I love my One just wished I could have more power. Oh and at the time my insurance quote for the MCS was £6500 hence not pursuing that option!

Oh and the stealth look is so that people don't know what's hit them at the traffic lights (when ofcourse I try to reach the speed limit as fast as I can...)
