Here is my thread about buying her! I just came across her by accident and was confused when I saw the MINI cherished description. Cooper S with Royal grey and english leather. I then rang the dealer and they confirmed it was a Park Lane S but it was in storage so they hadn't seen it yet. I believe the story is someone ordered it from Park Lane London through the diplomatic dept (? dont ask me!) and because Park Lane MINI in London is owned by the factory they can do things that other dealers can't, so they made it to order. I have investigated into this with MINI and mine may not be the only one in the country (imports, armed forces etc) but mine was the only one offically sold in the UK and I have a headed letter from MINI to prove it! Cool eh! I love her but shes a bit basic at the mo!
