Mini Cooper S Roadster, 2012
Chassis No.: WMWSY32020T301588 Offered without reserve • Automatic gearbox • Good specification The Mini Cooper S Roadster blends iconic British styling with lively turbocharged performance and open-top fun. Instantly recognizable, it features classic Mini design cues such as the rounded headlights, contrasting roof options, and compact, athletic stance. As a convertible, it adds an extra layer of personality, with a fully automatic soft top that folds down in about 15 seconds, even at low speeds, making it easy to enjoy sunny days on the go. Under the bonnet, the Cooper S model is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 181bhp. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, it delivers quick acceleration and responsive handling. The steering is sharp and direct, giving the car its signature “go-kart” feel. Despite its small size, the Mini feels planted and confident through corners, making it especially fun on winding roads. Inside, the cabin is sporty and distinctive. The large circular centre speedometer and toggle-style switches give it a retro-modern vibe. Supportive sport seats and quality materials create a premium feel for a compact car. Technology features typically include Bluetooth connectivity, a premium sound system, and optional navigation. While cargo capacity is limited, the Mini Cooper S Convertible excels as a stylish, spirited car designed for drivers who value personality and performance. It’s a practical-enough daily driver with a playful edge, perfect for those who want excitement in a small, open-air package. Originally registered on 12th February 2012 this Mini Cooper S benefits from an automatic gearbox, thus making it a delightfully easy car to drive. A good service history accompanies this Mini and we are advised by the fastidious vendor, this Cooper S drives well, with no known faults. The silver coachwork is in good order along with the black leather interior that shows just a little wear commensurate with the age and mileage. A John Cooper Works bodykit is fitted, together with power steering, heated seats and air conditioning, all features that enhance the experience of owning this Mini. Probably best described as a small car with a great specification, this Mini Cooper S is supplied with a V5 registration document, a history folder and a current MoT test certificate valid until 14th July 2026. A great fun car for a modest outlay. Consigned by Stewart Banks Guide £6,500-£8,500. Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead. https://www.historics.co.uk/auction/lot/?lot=18966&au=105
