that looks nice - not seen a dark silver convertible before

Olly. · Sep 19th, 2005, 12:37 PM

That looks brilliant. A really rare colour for the convertible.

Gives the car a very classy look

Congrats

Thank-you

Hmm, nice wheels...

Dark silver with black cooper stripes would have been my second choice, but I'd already fallen for black with silver stripes. Maybe next time...

My "old" MCS was B/B with silver stripes & a two-tone silver UJ roof.......

Hi Robert

Very nice looking mini, but why no badge on the rear mate ?

Hiya Neil,

How's things.....???

I had it specced without the badge, as it make cleaning the back of the car much easier.....TBH anyone who know's their MINIs will know it's a MCS.....so a badge make little difference IMHO!

Did 35 miles today with the roof down, jumper on, and seat heater on low.....had to stop to put the roof up, as it started raining........

I know you're considering one......go on matey, you only live once!

Robert

AidenL · Sep 19th, 2005, 07:39 PM

Looks

wobert.......

Good luck with it.....

V70R · Sep 19th, 2005, 07:51 PM

That is the exact colour I'm ordering soon. I love the DS in the convertible.

Congratulations!

LOL you need to get Graham to show you how to clean around the Badge LOL

We are looking into the convertible as the summer are getting better in the UK BUT it's just the roof wear problem mate that concerns me and the good lady.

Lush car. Classy spec.

We picked ours up on Sept 2nd, it has 3000 miles on the clock already, had 9 on the clock when we picked it up. Managed 2100 miles 6 countries in 6 days, nearly all with the roof down. Had the roof up on the autobahn to try out the top speed, feels fast doing 140.

Enjoy yours, we enjoy ours so much the next is on order to replace the yellow Cooper. A hotty orange, should look OK on the drive next to the B R Green.
