Hey,
I bought my MCS on July 2, 2002, and was told I had the 8th "S" in the state. I was just wondering how many other 2002 MINI's are out there, and if you have one, what month did you recieve it.

I bought mine on June 7th 2002 in New York and drove it back to Colorado.

It was the very first non-demo Dark Silver Cooper S in Colorado.

Ordered April 24, 2002, took delivery July 1, 2002. 4100 miles (it's a small island). Only dealer visits for CD upgrade to fix CVT stalling (worked), replacement of leatherette around gearshift which came unglued and the third brake light which shattered all by itself when closing the boot hatch. #64 from my dealer.

I got my 5/02/02 build Mini 'S' on June 27, 2002. 6,200 fun filled, problem free miles so far. I did not drive my car during the winter, I bought it as a 'fun' car and I like to keep it clean and looking new and in New England winter really can ruin a new car. Bought my car from New Country MINI in Hartford, CT.

Motor On!

I had a dear lady friend who, back in the day, owned the first MGA in the state of Texas...a red one! She was always proud of this fact and told the story all the time! It was great! Y'all enjoy those '02s!!! :smile:

Ordered our 2002 MINI Cooper CVT on June 30th, 2002 and took delivery on September 7th, 2002 from Lauderdale MINI. 6,700 troublefree miles.

Ours was built early August 2002, last of the 2002 model year MINIs.

MCS....last week of May 02, can't remember exact date.....15,400 miles, have never used the rear power adapter, heard they eliminated them on the 03's....still drive the benz coupe on long trips for the comfort of the seats and longer wheel base, but I have a 50 yr old back which works fine around town...lol!

Picked up our PS/B MC June 1st '02. no problems yet except the hatch rattle and seat squeak.
That first month, I was actually disappointed my commute was only 20 minutes long--felt jealous of those with the hour-long commutes.
We're going to celebrate Maxine's anniversary with a camping trip, though car-camping with her may be more like backpacking!

BUILT: 01/02
RECIEVED: 04/11/02

Any way to find out how many were on the road in the US 04/11/02? I'll bet less than 500!

Ordered on June 17th, built on July 23rd and pick it up on August 19th.

Around 16,800 miles, a few small issues and only one major *****, maybe that will go away tomorrow.
