Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but...
It is called a MINI First. It has a detuned version of the 1.4 engine producing just 75 bhp. You have a limited choice of options and this includes the highest spec pack being a 'Salt pack'. Costs £11,055. MINI have launched this car to compete in the Scrappage scheme sales. No air con as standard, in fact you get
DSC and thats really it, it even has a lower quality hi-fi in it.
Our dealership has one arriving in the next few weeks and I imagine the other UK dealers will be the same.
