The Appeal
The R52 was a massive success for MINI, so finding one today is not a challenge. Finding a good, cared for and factory standard is more of a task, but one that we’ve thankfully solved for you with this very tidy low mileage Cooper convertible.
The car is finished in silver metallic with blue roof and dark blue leather. It left the factory with the desirable CHILI Pack plus heated seats, a/c and Xenon headlights. Inside and out it remains in good, unmodified condition, a sense supported by the current MOT which runs to November 2026 with a single advisory.
The history file tells a similar story. The service book is stamped to 71,000miles in 2024, with more recent work covered by a long run of invoices for running repairs. This is a smart, nicely specified manual gearbox R52 in good order.
