It doesn't matter when car was ordered it is date of 1st registration that counts. Price rise from £25 to about £38 - not massive.

My dealer told me that I would have to pay, and factored this into the final price I am going to pay when the car arrives. The price went up $450 USD (not sure for the rest of the world), and that isn't bad and it isn't going to put me off on buying my new Mini. Also this increase is only for the Cooper S.

I spoke with a local dealer yesterday and was informed that MINI is reimbursing dealers for the $450 price increase on any December production cars, at least here in the states. You might want to inquire.

In search of my MCS...

from what i understand it is based on production date. i was "grandfathered in" and didn't have to pay the upcharge.
