Highlights
- Equipped with the John Cooper Works Sport Pack offering both cosmetic and performance enhancements
- Strikes a good balance between sportiness and economy - currently returning upwards of 50 mpg
- Presented in very good overall condition for its age
The Appeal
If you were to ask us to recommend a daily driver for the warmer months, this MINI would be a very strong contender. A four-seater convertible with an economical diesel engine, JCW enhanced performance and kitsch retro styling, it’s a consummate all-rounder and this is a particularly smart example.
Offered with an advisory-free MOT until January 2024, this MINI is in great overall condition and we heartily approved of the red paintwork which sits well against the black exterior trims of the optional JCW Sports Package. The electrically retracted folding roof still operates as it should and insidem, the interior has weathered the years very well - clearly having been looked after by each of its five owners.
Reportedly driving well and offering strong performance as well as in excess of 50 mpg, this MINI proves that you can have practicality and fun from the same car.
