Question Anyone Collect Their Convertible Today ??

Did you expect to collect your car today ?

Has anyone ACTUALLY GOT IT ?

Are they really being held in the compound by MINI deliberately ??

I've seen 3 over warwickshire and worcestershire so far today, but they may have been dealer demo cars.
Its raining here so tops were all up.

It's not the nicest day to pic up your convertible.

The Derby dealership has had 4 deliverd. 3 show cars and a cool blue ONE Convertable marked up for £15,950 on the forecourt ready to drive away. Frustrating as my girlfreinds was originally scheduled for today. To answer your question, noone here has had theirs deliverd but theres 1 ready to drive away.

Cars were in at my dealer this morning (Sat 26 June) but they said you couldn't have them - assuming you were lucky enough to be first on the list Strange But they look beautiful. More room in the back than I thought even with drivers seat in position for 5' 10 driver. Your feet tuck under the back of the front seat and there's room for your knees so long as you arent going on a 200 mile journey. Everyting looks fantastic. Only down side is that the inside is quite gloomy with the hood up. They should have used a light colour on the inside rather than black.

No - was expecting it on saturday and up until Wednesday last week that was the case but "production roblems with the new convertibles have caused a slight delay in deliveries".

Hoping for Tuesday.......

bit scruffy, bit rusty, bit smelly but huge fun.

More news on mine - went for the launch party today and saw my car round the back. It arrived Saturdsay evening at the dealers.
Definetly picking it up Tuesday 29th but if work had been easier, it could have been tomorrow.
