England Convertible (Cabrio) order...

Not even got the first one yet but have already put down a (smallish) deposit on a convertible. Anyone else been so rash?

Cheers
Dave

We've just sold our MINI but have a convertible on order. Bit concerned at the spy shots i've seen so far though. Don't like the classic mini/new beetle ragtop pram handle look when roof is down. Am hoping for a full foldaway jobby. Time will tell.

as i understand it, you're stuck with the pramhandle look - no complete foldaway. in my estimation the MINI convertible looks pretty bad in either mode... the beetle looks ok with the roof up though, i think.

I inquired at my local dealer about the Mini Open they told me it will be in the shops next spring and as far as they know only One and Cooper models will be for sale, the Cooper S will come later

Mini one,
Pure mottled Silver, 15" 8 spokes, Tinted glass, White bonnet stripes, a 6'tall sexy blonde in my passenger seat , very cute screeming baby in the back.
Life is good!

I was all set to put down a deposit but then got to thinking about all the teething troubles the other Mini models have had. Decided I'd rather not be one of the guinea pigs.

Also, as my current contract's up in March it's better to see what will happen there before committing to £15,000 - £20,000. May just spend a couple of grand on JCW conversion on my Cooper instead.
