My faithful Old One (well 10 months old) has gone. I got £10500 for it from Bluebell of Crewe which is a cool £800 more than its supplying dealer Howarth offered.
What could possibly replace it but a Cooper ( I tried a Cooper S but couldn't justify the increased insurance and petrol bills, and anyway I much prefer the look of the Cooper!)
I've gone for red with a white roof, chili pack with sports+ suspension ( and yes I do prefer it to the standard sports suspension), sunroof, heated mirrors, CD boost ( much better than the standard setup with multi changer that was in the One) White bonnet stripes and finally the Cooper S alloy effect dash brill for only £35!
Yesterday was spent shooting down country lanes with the Italian Job soundtrack on full blast. Sad hey!

Sounds similar to mine! (When it arrives....) Have you stuck with the 16's, or did you fork out the extra for the 17's? If it is on 17's, do you have any piccies? I am finding it very difficult to find a decent picture of a Red/White/Chilli Cooper with 17" rims, WITHOUT stripes. The dealer has a huge poster outside his showroom, but I think he would miss it!
Cheers!
