I found this today ....04 Convertable

 

Looks nice with the top down. I think I'm still partial to the hardtop though. Not a big fan of most convertibles when their top is up.

 

 

Not really going for the convertible look too much...

 

I like the originality of the MINI's panoramic sunroof. I don't think I'd want to give that up.

i remember reading a while ago that the image above is fake.
i really hope so, i'm not too fond of it. i prefer the ac schnitzer roll up top!

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't much like it, especially with the top down. I'm holding out for a MINI Pickup or "Pullman" style wagonette. They make either of these I'll be 2nd in line, right behind Clo!

 

I'm awaiting the arrival of the MINI that comes with an expandable tent.

 

well the MINI 'vert is coming. My guess is that most of the 5 cubic feet of trunk space you can kiss buh-buy. Styling will be totally subjective (as usual), however I think the fun factor will be unexpectedly high. Panoramic sunroof - bah!......topless! The interesting part will be seeing the rear windows roll down!

I'm sensing a technical horror-story coming up with the 'vert. Time will tell, as always.

 

wow thats soooo cute!

It reminds me of the AmphiCar. Just put a prop on the rear and take her for a swim.

 

ahhh yes, the car that floats!!!

 

My dealer siad she liked the idea until I showed her a picture of it... now she's not sure. I'd personally skip it. The origional Mini didn't work too well as a cabrio either, hence the small amount made...

Speaking of Amphicars, my club is gonna crash an amphicar meet next summer, lol...

 

I owned an Amphicar back in the early 60's and I think I had more fun with it then my '67 Cooper S. I had some wild experiences, like almost going over a dam and forgeting to put the drain plug in one night. Oh well, those were the good old days!

...that is so Cooool! but those door/hatch handles sometimes just couldn't get tight enough ... made me think about a bildge pump!

 

Reiminds me of the Wiggles' Big Red Car

 

if they put 200+HP...i'm getting one :smile:

Peace,

Not crazy about the way it looks. More interested in a 200hp version with AWD.

L.Mini, what's with you and the expandable tents? Pontiac Aztec anyone?

need to see front view to decide if i like it or not (i'm into convertibles)

 

ouch...looks like a Cabrio....ugggly. laugh!

 

It's fake... look at the ghosting where the side window supports would be...

also, I doubt MINI will offer up a Cabrio until they situate the 4 door, which would have enough body to allow a drop top. Now a HardTop Convertible Might be the ticket, like the hard top lift off version of the Z3 or Miata or even the Boxster.
