Yeah I know we fluked across him, a chap thinning out his private mini collection and never advertised him. Bit of a bargain, got his original bill of sale and he was nearer 15k with the webasto roof....gorgeous car very lucky!!!

I know it's not really a limited edition but I'd go for an early 1275GT with the optional "S" pack - basically puts Cooper S running gear in a GT. I've only ever seen one.

However, if it has to be from the defined list above, I'd go for a 25 because I used to own one and have fond memories of it, followed by a black Cooper Monte Carlo.

I have had a couple over the years, I had Rovers Red development Monte Carlo. That was stunning, but to be honest not the same as the production models, so not a fair choice. The Paul Smith I had, although bodily getting a bit sour, had the most comfortable interior I have ever sat in. Money no object, it would have to be another Paul Smith

Mainly because of its interiour.

If I had to say second favourite then it would then have to be the 1100 Special

Both incredibly sexy cars

Sidewalks pretty cool in Charcoal grey (my mae has one ) but my favourite limited edition must be the Paul Smith. With a few tasteful, removeable, mods it would be a really nice car to have.
