The Appeal

The Modern Mini may not be as characterful at first glance as its illustrious namesake, but when you're driving it? It makes all the difference. These cars have evolved into candidates for the best hot-hatches out there - economic, perky and tight-handling sleeper hits that are still more than practical for the day-to-day.

This 2011 example - part of the cleaner R56 generation - is fully loaded with £6,000 worth of factory extras, and still very nicely presented. This is the second generation, LCI version of the R56, too - with a better OEM aero kit and the desirable N18 powerplant. It's car that has everything going for it -  not to mention eminently drivable. Supplied with a valid MOT, these ubiquitous cars are bound to become future classics, and are still endlessly fun to drive. Here's your opportunity to discover that for yourself!
