Talking to my dealer on Saturday to give him the spec for my replacement Cooper, and he said a Cooper ordered now would be a September delivery! Their orders for the Cooper have recently gone mad!!
And as for the "S". They have sold all this years and you would be looking at mid to late January!!!
One good thing he told me though. If I wanted an "S" for this time next year, he would guarantee that I would only loose a few hundred pounds at the most on my replacement Cooper!! He said if I advertised it privately, I would probably get more than I paid for it new!!!!
Got me thinking!
He also told me that they had a new Cooper delivered to them as a dealer car (Yellow, black stripes, silver "S" spoke 17" wheels. Nice). He said he used it last week and he can feel the difference in build quality from last years build. A lot better!!
