PM sent

[gadgets23]

above PM was about the legal issue against BMW as its like a mini etc ...
which i cannot see as there will be any ...

odd, as i would of thought that this news would of spur'ed more interest than it has ?
i thought the minus was more sought after than this ? ...

what are people thoughts about this ?

[Ethel]

Anything to put or keep more minis on the road is welcome I imagine a price tag in the thousands will be off putting even if it is fair for a handbuilt shell.

[Timtom]

Also... although reading this thread before.. I only just realised that the title ment you were making more minuses... (i know the thread says it..) but its not tooo clear.. I was thinking.. in a few years it would be cool to do a minus.. No rust!

[minimadjonesy]

minus shells would be a welcome thing! i know I'd have one! just wish they had made a clubman version too!! lol

[nikilah]

if i had 3k i'd buy one tomorrow. love them.

[minidan]

[Bungle]

BMW own the trademark for the 3D mini shape and similar.

The minius looks almost identical to the mini shape to joe public therefore BMW could start legal procedings!

[Jammy]

If I had 3k to spend on a shell I'd probably go with a Minus, but then i wouldn't spend 3k on just a shell...

[gadgets23]

will they go through a SVA test ?

simple anser is yes ... SVA test's int all that hard to pass ...


and the whole BMW thing im not all too sure ..
not sure how they would see the minus copyright ? as it was before BMW had theres ?
i dont know how it would pan out in "a court of law"
but really, would they take it that far i ask u !

anyhows not really 'our' issue

good to see a few peeps wanting to gets one
'if' it does kick of would love to add a MKIII minus register section to the site
but i have'nt had any pics from the man etc
we shall see in the fullness of time !
