2013 MINI Cooper S Roadster to 2018 MINI Cooper S Countyman All
We had two of the old Mini Cooper S in the 1970's (one left hand drive and one right had drive). We currently own a 2013 MINI Cooper S Roadster Convertible with approximately 24,000 miles. I am 70 years old. While the roadster convertible has plenty of room when I am in it, it is just getting to hard for me to get in and out of the car. It has a six speed manual. We have special ordered a 2017 MINI Cooper S Countryman All4 with a six speed manual. We had to special order to get the manual transmission. The 2013 Roadster convertible is in great shape with less than 24,000 miles. We have a prepaid maintenance on it for 100,000 miles or until May 27, 2019 and this is transferable. We also have an extended Mechanical Repair Contract with 0$ deductible and Hendrick Mini in Charlotte and $100 deductible at other dealers until 95,114 miles or November 5, 2020. This is also transferable. I am going to try and sell it before the new MINI Cooper S Countryman arrives in early July. This will be a great car and the new owner will have to pay for maintenance or mechanical failures for a long time.
When the new MINI arrives we will have owned 4 Cooper S (two Minis and 2 MINIs). We are really looking forward to the Countryman because it is easy for me to get in and out of it, is comfortable, but still a lot of fun. Also, the way things are going, in a few years it will be a rare car because of the manual transmission.

Welcome to NAM. Can I suggest you place the coupe in the Marketplace here? You might get some good responses.
Our club in NC is have a BRP tour in a couple weeks, you signed-up by chance?

Congratulations and welcome. We have our second Countryman in build. 1st is manual not an option on the 2nd with it being a hybrid.
I had a Gen 2 Clubman as my 1st mini. The countryman feels different since you are not but on the road but it still fun to drive.

I am not signed up the BRP tour in NC. Where can I find out more information? I assume it is on this web site.
