I bought it off the lot, but yeah it seems autos are hard to find but they did have another hampton but it didnt have navi.
Didn't even know if it was a hampton till I got there, the dealer website said Reefblue/Red roof. Took my chances and glad I did. Love the color, gotta get it tinted (live in South Florida) in the morning. Always wanted one of theses special edition minis, never thought I would stumble into one.

Even tho the one I purchased is lacking a few things that I would have ordered, I still love the car. (Although I'm having a hard time getting use to the automatic again.)

White Silver (Soho) Edition with R99 wheels
Had it about a month now. I'm continually surprised at the stares that I get from serious GT and sports car owners. Here in Dallas there are plenty of BMWs, MBs, Porsches as well as some Bentleys, Ferraris and Lambos. All of them take notice of my new car. It's a hard car to fly under the radar with.

Thanks for posting pics of your car! I've been trying to find pics of HC clubmans with different wheels on them for possibly changing up wheels on my soon to be new car. I was also wondering what it would look like with a polished lip/black centers. Any chance you have pics out in the daylight?

Naming the Clubman
My wife also wants me to name the MINI. I have never given any of my cars names, so I need to give it some thought. I am in Plano, but will be moving to Phoenix in August.
Here's a pix of the tail showing the unique (but traditional) White Silver Edition C-pillar color scheme.

ClubsterUK, did you have the roof repainted silver? Isn't a silver body/roof color available for the car in the UK when ordered? (I'm assuming you ordered your car) My car is painted the same way but none of the colors were done as aftermarket items.

New DFW dealer
We actually did not get invited. I guess since we had already ordered the MINI, they focused on prospective customers. The experience was good, so I forgave them.

Arizona vs. Texas heat
Yesterday when it crested at 101 degrees here in Dallas, I look at the NOAA weather website for both Dallas and Phoenix. Phoenix had 9% humidity while Dallas had 38%. I'm counting on that difference to level out the experience of both cities. At any rate, having lived in Texas all of my life, coping with the heat means moving from one air conditioned environment to the next all summer long. I expect that that's what Arizonans do as well.
