If you click on 'gallery' and then 'personal' and type "anthracite" into the search box you'll get a few.

Some pictures of the anthracite dash have come up in various threads. It may be worth using the search facility on the forums.

If not, I'll see if I can take some pictures of mine when I get my car.

There's some of my Cooper on my web site at http://www.mibaillie.co.uk/mymini.html . Hope these are of interest.

I didn't realise I would be getting anthracite, but fortunately liked it straight away.

20/01/03 is the expected date on my order. Going by the recent letter from my dealer, it looks to be bang on schedule. The bad part is that I'll be on holiday then and so I won't be able to pick the car up until 01/02/03.

I was quite expecting the silver dash and would have been more than happy with it. However, when I collected my car and it was sat alongside the dealers demo, which is identical to my Cooper except for the dash, I must say that I thought mine looked better, so yes I do prefer it. Although it is obviously not as bright as silver, to me it does not seem dark or gloomy, but as these things are all down to personal taste, it may not be to everyones liking. Thank goodness we are all different.

We should have had a silver interior also, but when the car was delivered it had anthracite. Having seen both, I prefer anthracite. Car is black with black and red interior, but it doesn't seem too dark as i would have expected, just subtle and understated.

Crunchie,
Interesting. Our interior has the silver ring around the rev counter, but we also have silver door handles and silver gear knob, wheras yours seems to be anthracite.


Don't have any photos, as I'm in Canada just now and still haven't learnt how to use the new Christmas digital camera. If my son, daiboi, reads this perhaps he'll nip out to the car and take some pics.

Red face

just had a look, and the door handles are silver, trick of the light and not the best of digi cameras.
