MINI ROADSTER

The ROADSTER is a small-class MINI that was offered on the Chinese market. Its run in the brand's line-up was short: production ended long ago and the name was never brought back.

The entire run fits into a single year, 2012 — no cars under this name were built before or after it.

The small class it belongs to is the lowest of the mainstream passenger rungs in the Chinese classification. Cars of this size are bought for city use: easier to park, cheaper to keep and simpler to thread through traffic than something a size up.

A short production run narrows the choice as well: there are few variants inside the series, so the decision comes down to the individual car — its condition, completeness and service history — rather than to picking a version.
