did a factory tour the other week and saw all sorts of funny things for the export market.

Psace blue/ silver JCW'd S's that werent checkmates and loads of coopers that were in Park lane colours but werent Park lanes.

So nothing would surprise me.

Here's a screen shot from the USA website configurator. They can get MCS Checkmates in Astro Black, Pepper White, Pure Silver, Dark Silver, Hyper Blue, Royal Grey and Space Blue.

PW & PS don't get the silver V bonnet stripe though.

Yep. Neil the Hat said he saw a white and black Checkmate down the road in Southampton on a lorry, on its way t'docks.

And then my parents saw one in a US MINI showroom.

To be honest...I thought they were nuts, but then it was confirmed!


So over the pond, youse lot have a better MINI website, more options....

Lucky gits! Hehe!

weirdest thing I saw in Oxford was that the PW MINI's for export had a white roof, not pepper white, but pure white
