Well, in the 'coming soon' section. Thats a bit soon surely? Thought they had to have the car for a few months, not weeks? I know its in the coming soon section, but it can't be long until they are 'officially' for sale? Just quite surprised TBH

I thought they had to keep them for three months as well

I suppose there must be a bit of a grey area around pre-selling them and then getting the customer to wait until the end of the 3 month period...

Were the dealers not running around in a few of them pre-launch with the badges blacked out? they might have made it to 3 months by now?

Noticed that as well. They look like showroom cars, though it does say Mileage on Application (no mileage shown)

The prices look pretty unrelastic (though it seems they are all down South. £16,000 for a Cooper Clubman with a Pepper pack and Metallic paint, looks like pratically the list price, £26k for a fully loaded Clubman s!!

All MINI Demonstrators and Courtesy Cars, regardless of how long they have been registered, have to be shown in the 'Coming Soon' section of MINI Cherished, as it is part of the dealership standards set by MINI.

Any car registered to a dealership does have to be kept for a minimum of three months though, so although these cars are technically for sale they cannot be released until they are three months old.
