technically that's not a 2015 'coupe'

15 was the last year MINI made the R58 Coupe and R59 Roadster ...

R58

R59

these two models were 'two seaters' ... did not sell well and '15 was the last year <11 - 15>. Their existence caused MINI to stop referring to the basic 2 door FOUR seater hardtop as a 'coupe'

MINI has made it SO EASY to get twisted wrt 'names'

DON'T EVEN get me started on Mini vs MINI



like both .. but NOT the same .....

Ha! Thanks for the correction @Capt_bj . Now that's a coupe you've got there! Looking good.

Ha Ha ....... mine .. or I should say the Mrs is a Roadster!!!!!! Not a coupe by MINI definitions/model names .....

<when joining a new community .. learning the local lingo helps one fit in >

The orange one is mine tho ...... a very modified 1979 Mini Saloon 1000 that I've had since 2004

sitting next to the one that started it all, my bought new off the lot 2002 Cooper S in the 'show car' configuration: dark silver and white, S-lite wheels, lapis blue leather interior

enjoy your MINI but be careful ... as you see they can be habit forming ......

Love the orange saloon! So classic. How’s the ride in it?

Habit forming is right. My last car was a 2005 cooper S that looked very similar to your ‘02. That one definitely felt more like a go-kart than my current. 😎
