---

MINI UK has announced pricing and specification details of the new MINI One Convertible and MINI Cooper Convertible. The MINI Convertible will be launched this summer. On the road prices for the convertible are as follows:

Trevor Houghton-Berry, General Manager MINI UK said: "Since the MINI Convertible made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show at the beginning of March, we have been overwhelmed by the level of interest in the car. I feel confident that this interest will increase further as people compare the price of our four-seater MINI Convertible with those of our competitors. The MINI Convertible is not only a great drive coupled with stunning good looks, but it also represents fantastic value for money too ."

The MINI Convertible will be launched with a choice of eight paint colours, three solid colours (Liquid Yellow, Black, Chili Red) and five metallic colours (Hot Orange, Cool Blue, British Racing Green, Pure Silver, Solid Gold). Hot Orange and Cool Blue are exclusively reserved for the MINI Convertible.
