Did anyone ask Mike "The man" Cooper about dates for exporting the works kits to other MINI world markets.

Like, umm, Australia for instance ?

Does sound like the Cooper S one is quite a long way away though. 200+ reliable BHP, sounds VERY attractive, though a little pricey.

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 16th, 2002, 06:07 AM

anyone got any idea when the Works Cooper S will be available???? and how much it will cost?

tempted to put my deposite down now if it's quite a while....

From the news item....

Mike also gave us some 'inside information' on the teams plans for the MINI Cooper S. First of all, for all our racing fans, next year we will be seeing the Cooper S on the track. Secondly, further to producing just over 200bhp, we can expect 0-60 times of around 6.2 seconds or less, and a top speed around 145mph from the forth coming MINI Cooper S Works, which has still to undergo intense endurance, hot and cold weather testing before being released, probably some time in September 2002 for around £3,000 to £3,500 on top of the Cooper S list price.

cheers Tau, all ive got to do now is convince err in doors that we NEED a Works Cooper S

wish me luck...

He obviously wasn't listening as he was there when Mike was actually saying that!!

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 16th, 2002, 06:39 AM

well i was recovering from a bad hangover!!

thats my excuse and im sticking to it.

Tau · Apr 16th, 2002, 06:47 AM

It must have been bad for you to miss that

I take it that this modification would void any Mini warranty you might have?

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 16th, 2002, 06:49 AM

yeah well i knew i had to go home when i wedgied my boss in the pub !!!

the works conversion is covered on it's own warenty, and doesn't effect the BMW one. see i was listening then

Tau · Apr 16th, 2002, 07:57 AM

w00t!! time to start saving then.... I won't be beaten off the lights by 99% of cars then!

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 16th, 2002, 11:39 AM

yeah, well he wrestled me to the ground because i was leaving early, because of the JCW meet, so i ripped his boxers off....

i think ive blown all my chances of a raise this year

twhite1 · Apr 16th, 2002, 02:41 PM

When I talked to my dealer recently to discuss my disappointment with finding out from mini2 about the delays in mini production (after having ordered mine), he happened to mention that the cooper works s might be out by the time they start producing a car with all the specs I asked for. Since I'd never even discussed a works car with them, I thought that was pretty interesting. Actually, now I'm almost hoping mine won't be produced until the Works S is available.

I use Keeler of Latham, NY as a dealer

Do the conversions still void TLC?

Yep

Tau · Apr 17th, 2002, 04:25 AM

Even if BMW carry out the conversion? Or can't they.... I thought the works kit could be sold in its component pieces...

The works kit is only available as a whole kit (at the moment) and it will invalidate TLC but not the warranty.

Thats what Mike Cooper told me.

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 17th, 2002, 05:46 AM

went to my dealer yesterday and asked about the Coooper S waiting list, and I was told that if i ordered now i'd have it August/September. find this hard to believe that it can be that short....

or is my dealer just trying to get my money??

so far i still dont know the starting price of a Cooper S, and if anyone has an idea how much a FULLY speced Cooper S Works would cost, i'd be very happy.

Cheers
Lee

You could probably get a Cooper S this August but you wouldn't get a Works. A fully specced works S would be probably in the region of £25,000

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 17th, 2002, 06:10 AM

£25,000 thats alot of money for such a small car, but i still want one.

can i put a deposit down on one and say that i want it in about 18 monthes, even if i could get one earlier???
