SUNNY SIDE UP

Mini’s Sidewalk Convertible is drop-top gorgeous

Stepping out in style, Mini’s special-edition Sidewalk Convertible ushers in such styling touches as Deep Laguna metallic blue paintwork (White Silver and Thunder Grey are alternatives), model-specific bonnet stripes, 17-inch scissor-spoke alloy wheels and a canvas roof with a woven-in arrow motif. The cabin receives “Sidewalk” decals on the aluminium sill plates and leather upholstery with contrasting green and yellow piping.

Two turbopetrol engine options will be on offer: the 100 kw 1,5-litre three-cylinder and 2,0-litre four-cylinder with 141 kw, both of which will be coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch auto transmission.
