Somebody at work has a LY/B Cooper S. I'm afraid I don't have any pictures and I can't comment on its popularity.

However, personally I'm not a big fan of the MINI's yellow. As I've said before, it looks absolutely fantastic at night under the dealer's lights, but in daylight the yellow looks washed out.

The Liquid Yellow/White combo is fantastic. I've got white 5-stars.

A real head turner, and it looks "Happy". I was a bit concerned about it after I ordered it, because of some of the photos that were posted, but I really love it now. This photo is under fluoros so the colour is not correct.

I saw one around Heathrow this morning, Reg RE52 xxx (didnt catch it all) very attractive young lady driving (didnt notice the car too much, actually!!) My impression was a bit pale, not bold enough for the S.

I have a LY/B with stripes.
You can see some photos at my gallery. I hope to update with more photos soon.

It is a head turner for sure.

liquid yellow

My cooper S is solid liquid yellow with the space cloth interior. I actually had a different color on order but took this one to avoid the wait. At first I wondered if I had made the right choice but it definitely grows on you and I love it now and get alot of comments on how good it looks.

I'd have to agree with Al, I wasn't really sure when I ordered my LY/B Cooper S, I hadn't actually seen one but when I saw her sitting in the dealers lot upon her arrival I knew I made a good choice. The yellow is a nice shade, not too loud and not too washed out. With the black top it looks ready for business. Many of my friends have admitted that when I told them I was getting a LY/B MINI they thought yuck, but when they saw the car it totally changed their minds.

They couldn't have chosen a more . . . unfortunate name for it!

I've got a liquid yellow ONE (so no black or white roof - although personally I prefer the yellow/white combination) and everyone who's ever expressed an opinion about it has loved the colour. It made such an impression when I saw the yellow Cooper they had on the Birmingham Motorshow stand in 2000 that I promised myself there and then that if I ever managed to buy a MINI it'd be in yellow. Haven't had a single regret at choosing the colour since!

Markie,

I think our MINIS are twins. My MCS arrived in Ottawa on August 14th and it was delivered to me on August 20th.

I wonder if they could have been on the same boat?

I actually couldn't agree with your more. The name does conjure up some interesting images.
