12 Aug 2008|3,355 views
The final specimen - a MINI Cooper S Convertible Sidewalk painted in metallic White Silver has been sold to a MINI fan in the USA. In the land of limousines, the nimble little automobile with the electrically folding soft top has won over a very loyal group of fans. Only on its domestic market of Great Britain and Ireland were more units of the MINI Convertible sold in the past four years than in the USA.
Since spring 2004, the MINI Convertible has been built with three engine variants in Oxford. With more than 79,500 units, the bestselling edition was the 85 kW/115 bhp MINI Cooper Convertible, followed by the MINI Cooper S Convertible (125 kW/170 bhp), with around 56,500 units, and the MINI One Convertible (66 kW/90 bhp), with around 28,000 vehicles.
MINI convertible fans need not worry as the production halt was planned in anticipation of the new R57 model. The MINI convertible has soldiered on in first-generation guise although the updated MINI Cooper has been on the market for several months now. The second-generation convertible will mirror the current generation Cooper, and will also borrow from its new range of 1.6L powerplants.
