What am I missing about "1TO6" ?

Latest special edition JCW Hardtop is called "1TO6" one-tee-oh-six? one TO six?

Is it because it's a 6 speed MT?

Yes!

6 speed has been the staple of the New MINI and the only manual transmission on the new one.

In Gen 1 MINIs they also had a 5 speed manual, which i had on my Cooper Convertible.

As most Makes go to all automatics, MINI is one of the few left.

Yep, I think it dawned on me as I was writing out. Not many new cars coming with a 6MT.

All the F-car people are converting their F1 semi autos at a price point that would be a good deposit on one of these JCW's

There’s an article on MF that quotes straight from someone in MINI that they have no plans for the manual trans in the next Gen. Hoping that’s not true or I’m done buying MINI’s.
