I have looked at the MC40 a number of times now, including selling one on eBay and my original thoughts about MINI uniqueness. I always liked the red seats …
Well yesterday I saw an MC40 “living” in Essex, across from where I pick up my coffee. Update: I have now met the owner, Dan; he just picked his MINI up last Friday, trading from a Ford F250! And of course, he loves the MINI 🙂
And Todd of ToddsMods recently contacted me about an MC40 that has been “individualized”; Todd writes: Awhile back you commented on the lack of originality of the MC40. I happen to agree with your take on why would anyone want a MINI that there were 1,000 other just like it. Well, I got a call from someone who had just purchased an MC40 last week. He heard that I specialized in MINI graphics and requested a checkerboard roof to be added and the MC40 stickers removed from the rear fenders and the bonnet. He decided to leave the 33 EJB sticker.

No pic of the car… just a large low res plug for CooperSpeed… 😦
Fixed – thanks for the fast heads up Gavin.
I’ve got #300 and I will be removing the remaining vinyl decals this weekend and adding white bonnet & boot stripes.
Word to the wise – the magnetic “37” stickers will cause clear coat damage. I found out the hard way after running around with them on for two weeks. Now, my doors have to be wetsanded to remove the etching.
