Quick answer - you cant! I asked a mini dealer in US and they declined to send it to UK!

However bought mine off a member here and have 8 badges too!

And it will be up for sale soon (as no longer used) - keep an eye on classified

Obviously no details on where or who it's going to, but it was a Red/White Cooper.

ahh, good choice

Sad news. Looks like my little guy is going to have to last another few years to give MINI a chance to make the 2nd generation look more like the 1st.

The last one may have been built, but has certainly not been sold.

I did a quick check before leaving work, and there are 4 One, 36 Cooper and 40 Cooper S unsold in the UK dealer network, as of 6pm today.

So if anyone is feeling nostalgic, get down to your dealer and grab one of the last ones left!

This is a sad day, but as some others have said, a new beginning.

Thanks for that update Paul. So long old new MINI.

Have they re-opened tours at the plant yet?

GR33NIE · Nov 30th, 2006, 10:18 AM

It is sad that the Supercharger is a thing of the past, there was something novel about it being in a car that didn't cost sixty grand.
