Does anybody know if (or when) MINI convertible models/miniatures will be available and what cost. I have tried looking on the 'official' MINI store, but nothing for the convertible.
These are definitley being made - I have seen examples in 2 sizes being sold on eBay. And they look like they have exactly the same packaging as the other official mini miniatures.
If you are searching on eBay, try BMW MINI Cabriolet as well as Convertible, and ensure you also look for items available to the UK - the ones I saw were being sold in Germany...
Thanks for the reply dalboyne. I have seen a few on ebay and was wondering if a) they are the genuine official article (suspicious by nature ), b) if so, were they asking over inflated prices and c) I could just wait till they are for sale more widespread, but don't want to wait months - I am very impatient and have wanted one since i got the full size version
Hello Carolynn
We bought a Mini Convertible from the factory during a tour. Dealers hould have them. I think the only colours are yellow, silver or red.
It is tiny - only 4cms long (1.5") and cost £9.99 I think.

I bought a Maisto 1:36 model hatchback on a market for £2.50; chopped the top off and made an "open" canvas hood from carpet tape. Looks OK!
Sad or what.

My boyfriends dad knows I have been looking for ages so when he went to the States he had a look there for me, but no joy. Instead he bough me a little 'dinky' type mini, opened the packaging acrefully, took the roof off with a hacksaw, and re packaged it.
