ROVER is calling last orders on the Mini, which ends production next month after 41 years. The manufacturer claims stock for the Mini Se7en (£8,995), Mini Cooper (£8,995) and Mini Cooper Sport (£9,995) is already in short supply.

BMW is applying the finishing touches to its new Mini, due to debut at the Paris Motor Show at the end of September and go on sale here early in the New Year with prices ranging from about £10,000-£16,000.
