For the Mrs.....25,000 miler, 2006 plate, 1 lady owner, £10,000, Immaculate.

What should I look out for? How do I know whether it is a supercharged or turbo'd Mini? What is better?

We already have a Passat Diesel Estate and a VX220. Don't need excessively practical, just the need to very occasionally carry someone in the back and a bit of shoppping. are they fun?

Thanks in advance.

I think you will find that a 2006 soft top has a supercharger rather than turbo. As far as I am aware the turbo came in with the 2009 convertible model.

Above comment only applies if it is a Cooper S as the Cooper has neither supercharger or turbo.

It is an 'S'.
