Re: minis with air conditioning
Germany was never a regular country for aircons in Minis. With the aftermarket aircons I know you have to decide whether you need an aircon or a heater in your Mini. If you want an aircon you have to dump the heater. Germany is definately the country for heaters.
The only places where aircons in Minis are quite common are in Asia. All other variants are special and expensive modifications from Radford and Wood&Picket.
