I must be unique! I am loving the new car
black with black roof
satellite grey seats
piano black and chrome bits inside
bluetooth
MFSW
DAB radio (but little signal so doubt I'll be using it)
twin spoke wheels
white indicators
auto aircon
wind deflector
heated front seats

And ZERO car tax :D

Facelift is nice too, much better use of space with the radio controls

Even without that, as it currently stands, the Coop D conv is only tax free for the 1st year

Hardly worth the admin really is it for such a small amount. Anyway, won't break the bank

Congrats on the new car... doubt there will be many Dooper convertibles in the grand scheme of things. :)

Any pics guys? I am interested to see what they have done with the radio controls and the D badge on the convertible!!

I have been hoping that MINI would do this as I need a diesel due to the mileage I do and have been itching for a convertible...

Congrats on the new car, if MINI had announced the D cabrio earlier I would have waited before buying my D clubbie, so I guess I will wait another 12 months.

I'll try and take some photos this weekend to show you. I think the d badge is the same as the dooper?

Have to say I'm loving the car. A bit more visibility than the old style soft top, MPG seems good and I like the new radio control bit. Other thing I noticed is when the stop/starts stops it does so without the shudder than my 08 dooper used to have
