Since we use MCC and MCSC for convertibles, what will we use for the Clubman? I'm asking because I noticed in the Clubman forums an owner was using MCC to describe their Clubman. In this 'alphabet soup' of abbreviations, we don't need additional confusion.

I've made the suggestion to use "Cl" as an abbreviation in the States, since it's being marketed as a "Cooper", vice it's own line.
That makes my wife's a MCClSa HC/S
MINI Cooper Clubman S automatic, Hot Chocolate/Silver
It also separates the Clubman S from the S Cabrio by placing the Letters on opposite sides of the "S".
Just a thought until someone comes up with a better idea...

I am a new MINI owner and wanted to make sure that the color I was calling 'Pickle" was right. On the MINI website Sparkling Silver looks
more silver than my MINI. The non-MINI dealership I bought her from was calling her gold, but I think it looks more like Champagne.
Is there another SS owner with a pic to compare? Thanks

It's definately not Gold, as that color was only available Late 04/05/Early 06. Since it looks 'Champagne', then it's Sparkling Silver. Or a custom color. Easiest way to see is the Color Label Plate in the Engine Bay, usually arround the passenger side strut tower.
