So I'm now thinking about the smooth mint as my preferred colour option and I still lurve this exact car! I just need to try and find a twin air lounge with the automatic climate control option (call me fussy). I'm not sure that I like the styling of the new black radio panel in the middle of what is my preferred option of ivory interior styling so may opt for a black interior instead...
I took a look on AutoTrader at TwinAirs for you while trying to see where my Parents 12 plate has gone to (think it's been written off as it's been untaxed for months), and although there's 4000+ 500s on there, under 400 are TwinAirs.
Of them, there are no new style (2015 onwards) TwinAirs
with Climate Control in either Volare Blue or Smooth Mint
The only one I saw which might appeal is a Volare Blue TwinAir 105bhp Lounge, with black ambience. No climate control, but the heater controls don't look quite so out of place with everything black as they do on the ivory models, somehow.

I also saw this 64 plate TwinAir 85bhp Cult, so it had the Climate Control, plus leather, with ivory ambience & obviously the old radio which doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, plus a few other bits, for a snip of the original price. This one's a private sale but I saw a few late Cults on there, which all have Climate, in various parts of the Country.

The other option would be to find a dealer who can amend an existing order for a stock car so that it comes through as you want it - it's possible to change a black 1.2 Lounge to a Smooth Mint TwinAir Lounge with Climate control just before the order goes fixed, and save yourself a good few weeks waiting in the process, if that's an option
