Latest Information on MINI Roadster
No one could possibly complain of headroom in this Mini. The two-seater sports convertible model was produced from 2012 to 2015 and was the sixth unique bodystyle in the brands range. Mini opted for a neat canvas roof opposed to the usual heavy folding hard-top. Practicality is also preserved by way of the roof folding in before the boot lid and Mini’s notoriously huge central speedometer can be found in the Roadster. The luggage capacity allows for a 240-litre capacity, which is almost double the 125-litre capacity found in the Mini Convertible.
