It took about 2 weeks and ~6 phone calls to get a proper payment for our Mini when it got stolen. They kept on pricing it as a bog standard Mini Cooper and offering us about £3k when it was worth £5k+ being a John Cooper Limited Edition. Pretty much like this one (not ours) with the cream roof and bonnet lines, plus the flared wheel arches:
Eventually got someone on the phone who knew about Minis and understood the difference and offered us the expected value.
It was an awesome car to drive, but utterly dwarfed on the roads by today's cuntwagons.
