If the three-door Mini sticks diligently to Alec Issigonis’s primitive concept, starting with the collected forms and the absence of rear access, the canvas roof does not distance the most famous Englishman from the groove of continuity. Giving it, if anything, a slightly more playful spirit. Low height, urban-style length (3.88 m) and crucial finishing touches: the chrisms of the formal conception remain unchanged, as does the body partly taken from the previous generation. The Charismatic Simplicity language, however, is ingrained in the recipe, evident in the revised front (octagonal grille, new light clusters, clean, geometric bumper) and above all in the cabin, dominated by the essential dashboard with 24 cm circular instrumentation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Convertible now confirms that direction, replicating three of the saloon’s four powertrain-independent trims. The Classic is joined by the sophisticated Favoured, enriched with details in the golden shade Vibrant Silver and a beige or Nightshade blue faux leather interior, and the John Cooper Works with much more aggressive bumpers, miniskirts, bonnet sticker stripes, dedicated wheels and red stitching upholstery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
