MINI One accidently sent to our dealership in Florida!
Ok, well actually it looks like they only misbadged it on accident. It's definitely not a real MINI One, but it's awesome that we got this on accident! Take a look at the crappy iPhone pics!

That is strange. The tires appear to be thinner than what I'm used to seeing. I saw tons of Ones in the UK earlier this year but I never studies them to notice any differences.

It is not really a One, it is a Cooper with the wrong badge.
I've actually seen this a few times, I've seen a few Coopers come in with Cooper S badges.

the One is a significantly lesser car than a Cooper. it's the ultimate sleeper for those who know Minis!

I'm curious about the fuel economy estimates on the sticker. This isn't an S, right? Mine says 28/37. It's an '09 justa.

Your IPhone takes very nice PICs.
Who would want a MINI ONE in the USA? Oh the people that buy SMART cars?
Send it back or dump the badges or think up a new trick to sell cars .
It may have been an honest mistake by MINI but even so this post is odd.
BTW whats all the goo under the ONE badge in your ( I'm sorry) IPhone PIC?
I remember your dealership in 2003 I did not buy from you as Orlando was such a better deal at the time if I have my facts right you asked 3000.00 over sticker at the time so I guess this ( MINI ONE) odd and rare should be 5000.00 over sticker?
Edited to say (IT'S NOT a REAL MINI ONE) OMG I want a 95 hp car sooo bad! Please get us stupid Americans a REAL MINI ONE!
In europe they offer the MINI One as a cheaper alternative to the MINI Cooper (non-S). It's got a lower HP rating which helps them save a bit on auto insurance as well. It's basically a very stripped and simplified version of the MINI cooper. That's a basic explanation.
I'd love a MINI One if it were available...especially a One D.
Wouldn't that be great? A nice looking little grocery getter with amazing gas mileage and lowwww insurance. We can only dream, right?

...still not getting the attraction to the 95HP MINI 1, ...I like the performance of the JCW's and Cooper S's (that are modded). -guess that's just my love for fast cars?

Yup...different strokes for different folks. I have no use/desire for a fast car so I don't care if it's a 95hp car, 120hp, or 160hp. A 95 hp One would still look great, still get me to where I need to go, and it'd still be a blast to drive....all at a lower cost and lower insurance rate.
Besides...if I was interested in fast cars I would've bought an sti, personally Even the JCW still gets a 6+ on the 0-60 tests....not exactly "fast", but we all still enjoy them because they're a blast to drive, handle well, and look great in our eyes.
