FOR SALE: 2008 MINI Cooper Convertible 1.6 petrol with premium factory Pepper Pack and rare wheel upgrades. This car features an advanced Steptronic automatic transmission, giving you the best of both worlds. It operates as a fully effortless automatic for easy daily commuting or heavy traffic, but it can be instantly switched into a sporty manual mode by pushing the gear selector lever sideways or using the steering wheel buttons to control the gear changes yourself. The car is fully ULEZ compliant and exempt from all UK Clean Air Zone charges. As it is an R52 generation convertible, it benefits from the highly reliable first-generation engine. It stands out from standard models due to its genuine 18-inch John Cooper Works JCW R113 Cross Spoke alloy wheels, which were an expensive original dealer option that gives it incredible kerb appeal. The factory Pepper Pack adds great daily comforts including automatic climate control air conditioning, chrome exterior styling trim, a leather sports steering wheel, an interior mood lighting pack, automatic rain-sensing wipers, and an on-board computer. The two-stage electric soft-top roof works flawlessly, allowing you to use it as a sunroof or drop it entirely. The car is in great overall condition for its age. To be completely honest, the rare diamond-cut alloy wheels show some minor typical edge corrosion and lacquer lift close up, but they still look fantastic. A brilliant, sporty open-top automatic car ready for summer.
