Mini Cabriolet

The official Mini Cabriolet built at Longbridge went on sale in July 1993. It used the Cooper 1.3i single point injection engine giving 63 bhp and a top speed of 148 km/h (92 mph). Available in only two colours and a unique body kit, the cabriolet set apart from the other models. The interior was fitted with burr walnut dashboard, door capping and gear lever knob. Special front seats, in Chevron trim (later Granite) also used on the door pads held the occupants in place, the colour coded seat belts and black cut pile carpet added to the ambience. The five spoke alloy wheels, exclusive to the model, completed the appearance.
