Once again, the mechanism will be fully automatic, with no need for the driver to release any catches in order to raise or lower the lid. And the set-up will also incorporate an electrically operated sunroof – which, as you can see from our pictures, rolls the top back to just behind the heads of front seat occupants.
Unlike metal-roofed rivals such as the Peugeot 207 CC, the MINI doesn’t have a rakish windscreen. That will mean the Convertible will continue to offer owners impressive forward visibility, plus the kind of exposed open-top feel associated with a traditional convertible.
