The MINI MINI (2007-15) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 1.6 98 EU6 ONE HIGHGATE MEDIA 6SPD is a small, four-seat convertible with classic MINI styling and a folding fabric roof. It brings open-air motoring to the premium small-car class, with more personality than an ordinary city car but less room than a family hatchback. mycarcheck.com has recorded 19 look-ups across 10 different VINs, a useful snapshot but not a broad market sample. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £5,600, 40,000 miles recorded and about 5,000 miles driven yearly; cars averaged two previous keepers. Compact dimensions and the roof-down appeal suit commuters, couples and weekend drives, although rear seats and boot space are limited. The 1.6-litre 98 version favours relaxed driving over outright speed, and its six-speed manual feels engaging. Compared with a Fiat 500C, it is especially distinctive. Highgate styling and media equipment add appeal, but check service history and condition.
