Anyone got any ideas when we will see the MINI Cabrio hit the tarmac. My local dealer reckoned next summer 2003 but according to Auto Express the next new MINI will be the 5 Door in 2004 .......... Only new MINI in 2003 will be the Diesel........ Unless one of you out there knows different

5 Dr is that serious? Doesn't seem very Mini?

Would this be an clubman/estate?

Neil Curtis · Jun 18th, 2002, 05:33 AM

I.ve got a deposit down for a new convertible with my local dealer who advised me that it should hit the UK tarmac earlyish to mid 2004.

BESPOKE design currently make MINI convertibles to order.

£16995 for a MINI ONE Convertible. Buy the latest issue of Redline magazine (don't know if they have a website), there's a big feature on it.

I would rather wait for the BMW effort though, your MINI dealer might notice the modification when it comes to warranty claims!!

Never heard of that one

Let me be the first to offer up a deposit on a 5 door. I know it may not be very "Mini" but, although I love my S, my wife is dying to have a MINI. Problem is, with the 3 year old in the back it gets a little tight. A MINI Clubman would be ideal and make us a two MINI family.

When we get confirmation on this, my deposit is ready.

Hoping for two in the garage!!

I knew I could count on you monsta......

I'm almost certain it would be really popular if MINI went ahead with it.

Here's a pic of the bespoke convertible. Looks horrible IMHO, don't like the way the top is faulded on the rear end

QQQ · Jun 27th, 2002, 02:40 PM

Another on with the top up. Doesn't look sharp either

Is this what you meant Igor?

Think the bespoke design is minging!

5 door Mini pic...

Dom mini cooper · Jul 8th, 2002, 08:39 AM

Sorry but I really hope there isn't a 5 door.

Not too keen on the convertable either to be honest!

MAXIMINI · Jul 10th, 2002, 11:30 PM

AV51HCC,

I only count 4 doors, 2 on the sides, and 2 in the back. Am I missing something?

Timster · Jul 11th, 2002, 06:46 AM

I live very close to Gaydon, so spotting prototypes all the time....(theres been about 2-3 cooper S' around for ages). My Dealer - says he has driven 2 convertibles at gaydon, one with hard-folding roof (similar to 206 CC) and one with fabric roof. They are deciding which one to go for - hard roof takes place of rear seats. He has his name down for one already and they should be out summer 2003.
