The first generation MINI convertible (with the supercharged engine) was designated the R52.

Hope that helps clear it up
Ah nice one Alasdair, that clears that up! Just found another up in Aberdeen wee like the look of. Cooper S even though we initially said we were only going for a Cooper! lol Mrs has said that if we're going to get a MINI convertible, might aswell go for the S. She's as much a petrol head as me! lol
