Glove Box - when?

[flipper]

I want to spec a glove box on my cooper.
Does anyone have any news on this?

[ELISEBOY]

asked my dealer about this who still has no details

it must come to the UK, but when is anyones guess

strange that all the other countries get it as standard though

RHD seems to be a problem on the glovebox issue......

Nope, seems Im being think EB!

Good call !

I havent a clue why, so..........

I was told that the glovebox will be available from september onwards. However, that was by MINI customer services who aren't the most reliable source of information. This was in march.
Before that information I was told a storage pack, including the glovebox would be available in the 1st quarter 2002. So your guess is as good as mine.
I think they just keep putting the date back until people get bored with asking about it.

Im sure that it will come, its just to stupid a thing not to really.

But as you say, seems really strange that its not there from the start,

the single open shelf is nice, but the A/C in the glove box would prob mean that 100% of people with AC would want it

I was also told by my dealer (MINI dealer not the other kind. He drives a tricked up Lexus )there would be a glovebox option from September.

But then he remembereed that it was me who told him that in the first place after reading it on here! Doh! At least someone is taking us seriously!

Saw a RHD glovebox last week so it's on the way soon.
Keep contact with your dealer for information.

Cheers MiNiGuY!

Post June RHD Oz bound Cooper S's WILL have gloveboxes. The only possible issue with RHD would be supply.

The above information was confirmed by MINI Australia.
