Mini has launched a 25th Anniversary edition of its Mini Convertible in its most luxurious form, with just just 300 being produced.
It has been 25 years since the launch of the Rover Mini Cabriolet. The celebratory 2018 model builds on the base of the Cooper S Convertible with lounge leather-covered seats, white mirror caps and 18in Mini Vanity wheels.
Each car is painted in Starlight Blue and wears contrasting white bonnet stripes. The fabric roof has a Union Jack pattern.
The kit list is based on that fitted to Chili pack models, so includes the top-spec sat-nav and a Harman Kardon sound system, while a numbered plaque has been added to signify the car’s anniversary status.
No changes to the engine have been made, so the 2.0-litre unit remains capable of 189bhp and 207lb ft of torque. It enables a 0-62mph time of 7.2sec and a top speed of 143mph.
Prices for the limited-run model start at £32,995. This is £9165 more than an entry-level Cooper S Convertible, although much of the cost increase can be attributed to the additional standard features of the 25th Anniversary variant.
