Brits love the MINI hatch and the Convertible model has an equally enthusiastic
following.
Just like the rest of the MINI line-up, the four-seat MINI Convertible delivers
handling reminiscent of a go-kart. A fully electric roof and clever storage
features mean this convertible offers the versatility of a hatchback without
any of the compromises usually associated with open top motoring. The MINI
Convertible is proof that a small premium convertible car exists. It boasts
technologies, design features and the image of a sporting luxury car, all
moulded into a torsionally-rigid 3.6 metre long body. With an optional
equipment list longer than any other car in its class, four airbags and Park
Distance Control fitted as standard, the MINI Convertible is a small car that
thinks big.
The MINI Convertible is available with three different engines. MINI One
Convertible is equipped with a 1.6-litre 90hp unit, MINI Cooper Convertible
features a 115hp variant of the same engine, while the MINI Cooper S
Convertible is powered by a snarling, 170hp 1.6-litre supercharged powerplant.
The MINI Convertible range is priced as follows:
MINI One Convertible £13,630
MINI Cooper Convertible £14,960
MINI Cooper S Convertible £17,995
Available to order across the MINI Convertible range from April 2007 is the
exclusive Sidewalk edition of the model. The MINI Convertible Sidewalk offers a
host of exclusive and additional options, and is available on the One, Cooper
and Cooper S. It includes a choice of four paintwork colours, Malt Brown
English Leather upholstery, 17" Night Spoke light alloy wheels, bi-colour
leather steering wheel and gear knob, and special 'Sidewalk' interior trim,
floor mats, badges and door inserts.
On the road prices are as follows:
MINI One Sidewalk £16,940
MINI Cooper Sidewalk £17,990
MINI Cooper S Sidewalk £20,265
Should a customer wish to specify these options on any other MINI Convertible,
the cost of the extra kit would be approximately 25 per cent higher than if
purchased as part of a standard package on the Sidewalk edition.
