Hi All
The other day a dog walker stopped to admire my mini. Told me he used to have a Cooper S, it had the starter button on the floor.
Did they ever have a starter on the floor? I don't have a clue, but can't help wondering if it was just another "I had a Cooper S" story.
Thanks
Nigel

Only 850s had the pseudo-luxury of a floor start button.

The starter button story was just to distract you while the dog cocked its leg on your back wheel.

Everyone you meet that stops to admire your car used to own a Cooper S. :roll:
