  version, only one rear passenger door and the two van-like doors at the rear? Surely the new Mini appeals to the type of buyer whao aspires to have a Cooper S or similar, not to someone who would want the practicality of two swing doors? Or will BMW produce this in limited numbers to try and make

  Hi All, I'm an expat Brit who will be driving back to Blighty in a month or 3. I would fly, but driving is more attractive just now, and I can fit more Tesco and M&S goodies in the car then in hold baggage... :-) Anyway, I digress... In the UK, are beam deflectors compulsory or recommended
