I know as soon as they said this, we were like we would need to see the car and drive it before we hand any money over! But I was just wondering had any other people heard of this - sounded like a scam to me!! |

Sounds a bit iffy. A mate of mine bought a Type R for his better half and got it cheap. Turned out to be stolen and rebirthed and imported from England. But this wasn't found out untill after they spent £1000 on repairs, the next day the police came and lifted it so they were seriously out of pocket (like £10k). On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

The R56 has a better gearbox, both my mates who have the older one commented on how much better it felt. I love how many random "shite" comments always pop up when the BMW Mini is mentioned, I recon its green envy cos they cant have one!

early ones used the rover R65 gearbox (same as used on many rover K series cars), from mid 2004 facelift on they were german Getrag boxes (cooper s has been a getrag gearbox since day one). its the engines in the first generation ones that are Chrysler matt!
