MC40 Commemorative Edition on EBAY

I'm kinda new to the scene (have ours for only a week) but what is an MC40 Edition? He says (ebay) it rare and only 100 made I think.

nice car, but i'd do without the branding and additional emblems.

Not feeling the jcw CF interior. Its actually the first time anything jcw has turned me off.

For that amount of money, i'd rather customize a MINI to be my own.

I really like the MC40...wouln't mind having one at all....2 weeks after I purchased mine, I saw one for sale for a couple of thousand dollars more...(about 1500 to 2000 bucks)....I love my car, but wish I had waited for that one.....

I would say to buy this MINI if the options it has are the ones you would choose if you were to design your own MINI or if having a MINI that is just like 999 others appeals to you. For the extra $$$, I'd spend it on parts that make it go fast instead of look fast. . .

1. I don't think I would seek out or overpay for an MC40... but I wouldn't turn it away if the price was competitive. The look of the car doesn't bother me at all, and the color's quite nice. The only thing that got me was the interior plaque plate or whatever, the authenticity stamp (like, who would bother faking an MC40) I saw one for sale when I was doing my MINI research...

2. Yucca, I friggin LOVE your KITT mod on that footer graphic. Sweet as.
