I live in the Milton Keynes area and my brother recently saw the new MINI driving in the Buckingham area. Another of my friends saw one around Milton Keynes.

Has anybody else seen any about town? If so let me know.

Thanks Abi

Not so much a sneak view this one, but the new MINI was officially on display in Oxford, UK on the 14th Feb.

Spotted by Gareth Brown, he said:

"Just thought some folks might like to know that I've just seen the MINI being shown off on Broad street in Oxford with a load of folks in MINI shirts giving out valentines roses to any women looking at it...

The car itself was a red/white cooper with the white 5 spoke wheels (in fact looking almost identical to the earliest pictures released) I would guess it is a pre-production model from the Cowley plant...

As I was looking on, one of the guys got in and went up the road and back in it - seemed to go quite well, but had none of the 'proper' (and I use the term carefully!!!) mini sounds to it!

Well, despite people's views on the treatment of Rover etc. etc. it was managing to draw quite a crowd - most of whom seemed to be saying positive things about it...

Gareth"

It seems they've arrived!
