I got a jump on you lot as I lived many years in England, and owned a succession of them. A BRG 1960 Van, A Red 1961 850, then a Green 1966 Traveler. Next a Black 1071S, Replaced by a 1972 1275S. I had a hiatus until I bought my Mellow Yellow 2008 MCS. I have just replaced that with a new 2013 Lightning Blue MCS.
Which was my favorite? The one I had at the time!

I'm on my second one but not by choice. However, I'm very happy with the way circumstances turned out.

Previous: 07 MY MCS CPO (lemon'd)
Current: 13 PW/CR JCW HT

Hope to keep this going down the road.

2. 2008 R56 S-Traded the leased A3 for it, missed the first one. Having had both generations, I will always say I prefer the R56's, to each their own. Sold it outright while waiting for the next....
3. 2009 JCW-Ooh yeah. Ordered from scratch, all red, great car, drove it 31K miles, salesman at dealership for #4 bought it from me.
4. 2011 JCW-Cycling buddy was now manager of the new dealer in town and made me a great offer to update. Ordered from scratch, custom leather interior done locally, one of kind awesomeness now at 24K miles.
5. 2013 GP2-on order from my friendly local dealership, expecting it in January. Will either trade or sell #4.
WoW! In a good way

Just one here: my one and only 2006 BRG/W MCSm. Adopted as pre-owned in 2010.

I'm an R53 snob and will never replace this car. I could potentially add another to the stable, but I'll never get rid of Ruffian.

That's where I come from, but I found the original Mini a bit small for me. I made a few notes in another thread. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-pictures.html

Currently own two, one in the US that my mom is taking care of for me, and one here. Anyone else concurrently owned Mini's on two continents before?

Two for us. The wife's 07 R52 was purchased and driven in Germany and then brought over. We are second owners.
