How Rare....!

I don't think Rakey misunderstood, he's just saying in this case, it isn't a test car, it was a customer order for a BRG Cooper.

I've seen Royal Grey Coopes with Beige Leather for sale here in Ireland.

Sorry mate, I understand that happens, but this isn't one of those

Thats right, thats what I was saying, this is a customers car who wanted BRG.

Feel sorry for this customer, but still can't help but laugh at this making it in the public to highlight the extreme of errors that can happen, what next a MINI with no engine?

i Believe that mini did know about it being wrong, but did not want to mention it to the customer, and just wait to see if he noticed, i think this is there new policy

. Put it under some bright blue lights in the showroom, arrange pickup after dark, they'll never know....



It's a true limited edition now though!

Now if they would just do a "test paint" night fire red on a cooper S, I bet that would sell quickly as well!

At least we'd avoid of all those engine and gearbox problems The 0-60 times might suffer though.......

Sure I read somewhere on here that NFR is going across the range later in the year, might have been Scrogg, where is he?

You can't blame me for everything, you know?

Nightfire Red is definitely being added to the One, Cooper D, One Convertible and Cooper Convertible from April but, since that was announced, there has been nothing to say it is going to be available on anything with an S badge.

I think they should do an alternative for the Cooper, that'd sell very well
