New Owner of a Used Mini

I've wanted a Mini for some time. This week the magic left my 2005 Toyota Prius. I wasn't willing to pay the price on the hybrid battery for an 11 year-old car with 207K miles. I'm now the proud owner of a 2013 R56 in WS. There are no mods that I'm aware of. Just happy to have a fun car.

That's what I was thinking but it has hints of either white or cream in it or maybe it's just the camera.

It's called White Silver as the OP mentioned in their post. Gorgeous color in person. It was popular as a JCW color with red roof and wing mirrors. Really stunning in that combo.

It is White Silver. It's white. It's metallic. It's interesting. Not what I would have picked out of a book, but it was available in my price range.
Pelican, it came with 54K miles. I'm the second owner. And today I experienced my first Mini driver wave. Yay for community.

White Silver is a great color for a Mini. Neutral and will take any color you want to add to it very well. Looking good!
