I'm wondering why MINI are getting rid of such items, surely they only add to the cars!! ;)

The 1600 for the aerokit if it's fitted and painted isn't too bad. Some places used to charge 2000 before.

I just spotted what I am 99.99% sure was Owen's car for sale at a garage on the N11.

Still looks mean and moody.

You can change the 99.99% to 100% Adrian.

I'd never forget that plate, nor the car for that matter.

Found it on Carzone, although the front offside A panel looks not to match anymore.

But, good news, there's still MCoI stickers in the windows.

Just saw that too. Little history since Owen had it then...

If I was spending the money it would be on the GP that's also up there. 12Grand! That is a steal!

Chris Blackham was kind enough to do the A Panels for me in Carbon Wrap before I sold it - it was that way when it was parked next to a Formula 1 car at the Toys for Big Boys fest in Cork, it's last show. It's a cheap car, but this time around I can't afford it. Maybe the next time it's for sale ...

Seems to only have had an additional 3k miles put up on it!
