Any idea where this picture was taken?

Found this picture while on Google News. Any ideas on which MINI dealer's showroom this is?



The original article (not MINI related ) can be found here:

Nope no clue. It doesn't look like most of the MINI dealerships I've been in though

It's not Niello, so eliminate that one.

I have access to AP photos and I found it on that picture on the wire. Here's the caption that goes with it:

David Zalubowski
AP
Buyers walk past an unsold 2006 Cooper convertible on the floor at a Mini dealership in the south Denver suburb of Littleton, Colo., on Thursday, Sept. 13, 2007. Retail sales posted a modest gain in August, helped by the biggest jump in auto sales in more than a year. But there are concerns that spending could falter as the steep slump in housing and financial market turbulence weigh on consumer confidence. The Commerce Department reported Friday, Sept. 14, 2007 that retail sales increased 0.3 percent in August, compared to July, when sales had been up by 0.5 percent. The strength last month was led by a 2.8 percent jump in auto sales, the biggest increase since July 2006. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)

Thanks. I guess some portions of the news articles get deleted when posted. On the MINI side I'm sort of surprised to see an 06 MCC unsold. I would've thought it was an 2007.

Okay! What options does this MINI Convertible have? Since this dealership does not have their inventory on line, you must use your visual observations! No calling!

S-Lites on an MC and some kind of aerokit (from the painted trim under the door).

It's probably an S. The convertible S doesn't have the chrome flip-open gas cap that the MCS hardtops have.
