Keep the info coming Rakey, my deposit is down to make sure I get first one at dealers if it is as good as we expect it to be.

I know a few people there, but it doesn't always have to come from them, ear to the ground, listen, read and share what I can when I can.

Rakey , will be keeping my MCS , trading in my SAAB , but will be sure to get a few comparisons , deposit is refundable so Fairbairns are not guaranteed the business, I would wait rather than get done on the trade in.

Thats what I'm doing, a couple of dealers know I'll be wanting the new JCW so I should be able to get one when I want it, but I'm not putting cash on a car yet or confirming who gets my order as I want the freedom to get the best trade in price.

Although I think even if I am living down south Woodmans will be my first choice for ordering as they are a good dealership

The only thing I really didn’t like about the look of the Cooper S I tried was the power bulge on the bonnet, which doesn’t actually do anything. Though I understand it will in future, suggesting that a more powerful engine is planned.
