The steering wheel is on the right side.

 

I hear ya lot... but I'm not thinking I'd use it on the coldest mornings... certainly a block heater would be best suited for that job. However, on a moderately cold day (not a Winter-peg morning ) the heating cicuit would be fine. On hot days it would be very nice to be able to dump some of the nasty-hot air out before entry.

And the roof aerial isn't replaced by the one mentioned in my post above. ...We're talking strickly a cellular aerial. It's this super-cool & compact semi-circular device, which mounts on the windscreen, up behind the rear-view mirror. Very out of the way and stealthy looking. If I can get my scanner working I'll edit my original post to add photos. Just need somewhere to host them.

 

Thats why the bonnet release is on that side. You would figure if they could figure out how to switch the steering wheel, they could do the bonnet release too.Guess it keeps costs down.

I think that is the reason all the MINIs that come to Canada have the cold package, xenons, ASC+T. Besides the fact we kind of need this things, well we don't need the xenons, but glad I have them, is they may be able to hold down costs because when they do a batch of them to come here, they all have these options.

Mind you they don't hold the price down much. A stock MC sells for $25,800, and a stock S goes for $30,500. Thats CND. funds.

 

I think they left it on the side on purpose, To make it different and to show its britishness.

 

Maybe UK spec. Last time I looked, most European countries are left hand drive. :smile:
