Seen a Cooper S cabrio yesterday in central Edinburgh - is this one officially out now? Think it might have been a dealers car.

It's been out for around a month now, so, most likely some one's pride and joy :p

Lucky b. Liked the look of it but still prefer the hardtop.

Noticed one sitting outside the train station at the end of my street end of last week. Not my cup of tea but quite cute.

A guy turned up at the Scottish Mini Weekend in a black one:p. I think the only thing he didnt spec was the bonnet stripes:eek:. Its a lot of money to be spending on a Mini at the end of the day. I still dont like those afterthought hinges for the tailgate:disapprove:

The cooper S cabro is just out. The guy at the Perth mini show told me BMW wanted to further delay the release until September but the folk with orders kicked up such a fuss they went ahead with the original release date (early august)

Saw a nice blue S cabrio in Edinburgh, with the JCW wheels. Registration was P1GGS
Anybody have an idea who owns that one?
Can't wait 'till Sioban gets hers. The S version is really growing on me.

Seen a few Mini One Cabrio's around Aberdeen but dont think they do the mini any justice. A S carbrio would probably look better but in Scotland, dont think you'd get the use out of a the softtop (just Aussie bias!) Our other car is a cabrio and sux in winter..each to their own so long as you enjoy and get out of your car what invest in it! I'd be concerned about the safety issue of small car being soft top..probably not an issue with its design just my perception. Any mini is a cool mini! :)

Sorry, but whats the main visual difference between the One and the "S" apart from probably a bigger set of wheels and a bonnet scoop?

The main difference between one/cooper and S cabrios apart from the bonnet scoop and exhaust is knowing you have all that power. I've not had any 'hairdresser' comments since I picked up my MCSC a few weeks ago. My first Mini - wish I'd bought one years ago.

I think it is just the colour of the Ones' I'd seen about town - they looked very basic (maybe JC dealer cars?) - two blue One's with black softtop roof - looked a bit naff to me but maybe that was the colour combo. :( I saw one in new purple/blue cooper s cabrio on the Cullen Run (heading into Cullen) and it did look better in comparison. Isnt the exhaust and bumbers different too?:)
