Spyshots: Mini Roadster ready soon - Convertible Mini

Mini awash always projects. The newly confirmed Paceman good for production, but we must also address the Roadster and Coupe versions due to join a range already well supplied. For the last mentioned, the official presentation is only a matter of months and the final model has just been surprised in the street under a camouflage too flashy to be honest.

What better way to attract attention to a car than to stick big yellow neon tribal patterns purpose of camouflage. Hard to miss the car and masked when passing in the street! A camouflage that does not even watch his lines, apparently quite close to that of the coupe concept shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009. Note the appearance of a kind of retractable spoiler that was not present on the concept.

MINI Paceman Concept for Production

One of our family favourites was the Mini Countryman. This was the stretched estate version of the classic salon shape. It also had the later 1275 Clubman style front. A lot of changes from the original, but it still somehow looked like a Mini.

Did we love our old Countryman because it was a nice looking car? Well, no not really. We loved it because unlike the saloon version, we could get some luggage in it and go away for the weekend in relative comfort.

The Managing director of BMW UK has stated that the group have seen both BMW and MINI brands outperforming the market this year on the back of a strong new product and a successful market introduction of the BMW 5 series, Scotland has been involved heavily with promotion and sales of the saloon as well as Touring models, the X1 and the MINI Countryman.

The upcoming Mini Countryman

I have always had a soft spot for the original design Mini. It played a part in my childhood and also my youth. Back in the 80's and 90's it seemed like almost everyone had one. Cheap, fun and good-looking little machines. I'd love to add reliable to that list, but they had various issues.

BMW Groups position within UK sales figures looks strong with further models coming into the mix and the increasing popularity of mini car deals, Scotland is adding massively to the sales figures and the BMW Group will be fulfilling their market demand in the lead up to the UK VAT change in January.
