(NEW YORK) -- Dee Quon had a mission. The Southern California resident and longtime MINI Cooper devotee wanted a black John Cooper Works Hardtop 2 Door equipped with every single package available and a piano black interior trim. Red stripes painted on the hood, too. Quon searched and searched for her dream car at local dealerships. The result was always the same: No. "A lot of dealers build what sells the most," she told ABC News. "I was looking for certain options." So Quon went online, placed a custom order and waited three months for her JCW MINI to arrive from the British automaker's plant in Oxford, U.K. The plant manager and the quality assurance manager even signed the inside of the hood, making her car a rarity.
