Just came across this on fleabay....I wouldnt pay this much for a Convertible with basically only 'upgraded and special' leather interior...would you??!

Its nice, but I think its a tad expensive @ £25.750?

That's about 13k more than I would pay for it. They are some fugly wheels to boot.

minicabrio · Jul 20th, 2008, 08:19 PM

OMG!!

It's not even got sports seats

Plastic Shark Vents in the side too

How much????????

Roofas · Jul 20th, 2008, 08:22 PM

I reckon Misseur Sutton was larfing all the way to the bank..................

mister.t · Jul 20th, 2008, 08:24 PM

That was less than that when I saw it a few weeks ago

Im sure it was about £28k

My Cooper S Sidewalk didn't cost much more than that new and thats after it has been shipped ahlf way round the world!

Ridiculous!

I noticed that too...and on a 'bespoke' MINI, you'd think they'd at least have the Moss ones!!

Its really not as 'special' as they make out is it?! I mean, its 'only' got the Pepper pack, not Chili, ok, so its got a decent spec, but not for that sort of money!

Yeah I saw it at a 'Buy It Now' price of about £28k, I think this is the 3rd time it's been listed, it was quite funny reading through the advert, as if you would pay that much!!

thetope · Jul 21st, 2008, 10:53 AM

how on earth can someone pay that much for "bespoke items" then only drive it 400 miles in a year?! The seats look cheap - a sidewalk is much nicer!

Exactly! Could have a new Astro Black Sidewalk S with all the trimming for less than this Cooper!!

Sportspack Mark · Jul 21st, 2008, 11:19 AM

oh thats lovely, not!!

Mosposco · Jul 22nd, 2008, 10:05 PM

Ummm....£13k of extras? Clive Sutton must have made about 12 grand profit on the "conversion" after spending an afternoon buying and fitting all those "unique" items from Fleabay

Seems a little expensive to me ! considering I am selling my convertible next month which other than being a cooper s has
Bilstein coilovers
willwood brakes
3 piece alloys
ported head/cam/valves
manifold 4-2-1
borla exhaust
custom nappa leather interior /alcantara -the complete interior
custom maple blue dash
boost /volts guages
white lights
choice of body kit
grs intercooler
15% pulley
indicator mirror covers
option for nitrous if desired
polished coolant tank
silicon hoses
cai
nology leads
coil pack
remap
custom hood
strut brace
and a load of stuff I cant even remember for less than this cooper -the extra 150 bhp is for free

ScoobyDoo · Jul 24th, 2008, 07:08 PM

That is such a bargain - why didnt I see this before I had mine............. ?? (she says, voice dripping in utter sarcasm)............ My cab S with all Ive spent on it is still over £10k less.

And how irritating that the car is refered to 'she' or 'her' all the time.

Derepente · Aug 10th, 2008, 12:15 PM

I'd like to see photos... why sell the cabrio? it sounds great!
