Pre-Production Convertible S High Resolution Photos

I was at the Washington State All British Field Meet today and Northwest MINI had a pre-production MINI Convertible there. I took a couple of snapshots of this car... which I posted at:
http://www.pbase.com/threefourfive/mini_convertible

main things I noted...

1) LED daytime running lights


2) mini buttons on front of multi-function wheel
3) option package they had simulated on the car pushes the speedo and tack to steering column


4) NO buttons on back of wheel:


5) antenna on front of car makes it look a bit dorky (IMHO)


6) Still has blank in the rear foglight position
7) has some sort of sensors in bottom of temp control


8) Oil/water/gas (told it was optional) center display that bumps speedo to steering column




Just tossing in a couple more... (yes, there are more at http://www.pbase.com/threefourfive/mini_convertible):

Pretty nice! The antena position was very popular for Minis in the 60s. It may not look so bad with a shorty.
