MINI Convertible has been proven by strong demand since its launch in 2009, before that it’s only been possible to buy a Cooper, Cooper S or John Cooper Works Convertible, so to introduce the MINI One Convertible it proves a much lower entry point for keen fresh air fans.

The new MINI One Convertible which shares the new 1.6 litre VALVETRONIC engine like its Hatch and Clubman cousins produces the same 98hp, 153 Nm of torque and accelerates from 0-62mph in 11.3 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 112mph. It also brings fuel efficiency and CO² emissions to a new level recording 49.6 mpg (combined cycle) and 133 g/km respectively.

The four-seater Convertible features a fabric roof that opens and closes electro-hydraulically at the touch of a button, EPS electromechanical steering, DSC stability control, four airbags and the rear rollover bar behind the rear seats that pops up automatically in the event of a rollover incident.

The new MINI One Convertible has a wide range of options to personalise to owners taste including exterior paint colours, interior design choices, hood colours and the ‘Openometer’.

In this year’s National Motor Museum Trust Prize Draw the popular MINI One Convertible was the star prize. I bought a ticket hoping to win and take the new MINI one to Edinburgh but unfortunately the lucky winner wasn’t me.

The draw raised over £45,000 to further the work of the National Motor Museum Trust which is responsible for the world-renowned collection of over 250 motor vehicles and thousands of artifacts.
