As far as I know, yes. But don't take that as written in stone.

And for 10 points

...........that is an 'On Sale' date, so orders could be placed earlier, for delivery then?

That's the on sale date yes.

KenL · Jan 24th, 2004, 12:04 PM

Excellent Paul thanks.

All sounds good apart from a "new shade" of metallic black! Are there any new solid colours? I had thought the pictures showing the convertible in orange looked solid but obviously not.

I sure you will but please let us know when you know for sure when the facelifted version goes on sale and also when new brochures will be available from dealers.

Rakey · Jan 24th, 2004, 01:21 PM

Exactly...........I'm itching to order now !

Rakey · Jan 24th, 2004, 02:14 PM

but it will be strange to not have you waiting or talking about it...............

think life will be strange, kind of empty

AidenL · Jan 24th, 2004, 02:16 PM

Yeah, speccing is most of the fun....how can we let the S Speccin' Thread die ?

Rakey · Jan 24th, 2004, 03:04 PM

I am sure the mod'in part will keep us all busy

stryder · Jan 24th, 2004, 06:58 PM

There's the new engines coming up, someone will start speccing one...

Anyway, thoughts on whether the new colors will be available at launch (Being an Indi fan, the new S blue sounds intriguing) or if it will be one of MINIs more usual slow phase-in of colors?

And btw, for clarity and the Americans on the site perhaps 'hood' isn't the best word to use to describe the convertible top? Too much bonnet/hood confusion as it is...

you can place orders now it seems, specs are pretty well the same as for existing ONE, MC and S, except for colour, wheels and some interior colour coding. An 'S' with Chilli pack in cabrio form is likely to be about 1k more GBP than the hard top probably

So can you order now, but change the colours later when the new specs go on the system?

Twould appear to be the case, would you like a fitting for the Numbnut hat now sir

AidenL · Jan 24th, 2004, 08:31 PM

I've been a Numbnut for quite a while !

LMB · Jan 24th, 2004, 08:38 PM

When's the 2005 released? September?

I quite fancy a Works S in Purple.
