I'm working on a Quarter glass for a customer of mine. Hes stated that he has a 96-00 Mini Cooper which I understand is the "older body". What Im having problems with is finding out where I could source this glass (my usual suppliers don't have access to info on these cars) As well as years of fitment. Am I correct to say that these cars are refurbished models( Like the old VW Beetles) sold as 96-00 Minis are were they really produced these years?

Yes, very much like that. As for sourcing parts, I know of some East Coast sources, but I am sure there are twice as many on the west coast. Start here:

I took a quick look, and they do have glass. Good Luck...

No, they are not refurbished. They actually built the cars new until 2000. They changed very, very little in terms of design engineering, but they were definitely new.
