    Nice, does make me wonder how much space will be available with the roadster. :)

    I have some raw video from the private showing of the Coupe...I'll work on getting it uploaded to YouTube sometime today.

    The boot is VERY roomy and the pass-through is quite convenient, too!

    PS: The M/F pics show all the space that is available if you remove the rear shelf and divider that is behind the two seats.

    Having seen the coupe it surprised me with the amount of space available. That being said it gives up a large amount of capacity to the normal MINI shape which I expected. I wonder how long until I see one on the street?

    As for the roadster that top has to stow somewhere & with the top down there won't be a lot of storage.

    Sort of like they had on the Lancia Stratos when they ran the Safari rally.

    With the bar, the GP can't fit quite that much. But I have put in a wheel chair, kid's walker and several file boxes of materials. Boot space is not why I picked my GP :biggrin5: I'd love to do a side by side performance test though, 'cuz my specs are still lighter and faster . . . just sayin'
