I sold this car new to a lady in Dublin, and bought it privately from her about 26 months ago. It has a full MINI service history, and has had all servicing work completed by MINI under the TLC package.
Being the fussy person I am, I had the entire soft top roof and clutch replaced about a year ago by MINI - which cost around 4000 Euro, so there's years of life left in those parts for sure - it's particular peace of mind where the soft top is concerned. I also upgraded the car to full leather bucket sports seats, with lumbar support. The lighting on the car has also been changed by Essential MINI to blue, with white neon needles, which looks stunning with the Purple metallic paint.
The full specification of the car is as follows :
MINI One Convertible, registered October 2004.

This is really one of the nicest MINI convertibles around, in a very rare colour - I had the opportunity with MINI to handpick a car for herself, and this was the one I chose - so it's sure to be unique. We're looking for €12,000 Euro for it, which is fair - there are examples on Carzone with a lot less spec for similar money. And if someone borrowed money from their bank/credit union for it, 12,00 Euro is only 59 Euro a week, or about 8 Euro a day.
Don't forget too, that if someone wants more performance, the One engine can be chipped by Ger (irlmin on here) from 90 Bhp to a Cooper-killing 130 Bhp!
I wash the car every single weekend, and before anyone gets it, I'll machine polish it to a showroom finish, and recondition the alloys to make it pristine. We're only selling it to get another MINI - so we've been very happy with the car so far.
