MINI2

Something of a rite of passage, methinks. OK, I'm a bit late at forty, and I had to start my own company to do it, but even so.

MC + Chilli pack
Pure silver, body colour roof, silver line exterior
16" 5-spoke, non-+ suspension
Silver interior, Black half leather
Auto AC
Single CD Boost + HK
Xenon + visibility pack
Sat Nav (yes, I know, but I'm fed up with getting lost)
DSC

Not a bad deal as a company car - low depreciation keeps the contract hire costs down, and the CO2 emmisions peg the tax at 19%.

A wise choice in many ways if I may make so bold, so it looks all in all like a 'sensible' car. You'll have more fun in your company car than 99% of other company car drivers.
Well done enjoy it nad good luckwith the company.

MINIs are very tax efficent... or so I keep telling my dad. We have 2 as company cars and they definately worked better than the VW Golfs.

Abi's MINI One is a company car too. Nice.

Forgot MFSW on the list above. Not, however, on the sheet that goes to BMW, and that's what counts. Luckily.

Congrats on getting a MINI as a company car - what a nice Boss you have!!!

Sounds like it will be a really nice car - welcome to MINI2. Hope to see you on some MINI runs next year.

Hey, at forty you're a spring chicken compared to some on here

Nice spec, congrats and welcome to MINI2

Great choice - i have a MC as a company car (via car allowance though) and the currecnt forcasts on depreciation mean my balloon payment vs car value should hopefully see me better - off - fingers crossed!

I wished i'd opted for the MFSW - even if only for cruise control - it's a pricey retrofit at £400 plus labour!
