2011 MINI Coupe/Roadster cars for sale

Based on the R56 era of Mini hatch, the Coupe and Roadster were built between 2011 and 2015 but met with only modest sales success. By the time the F56 Mini hatch came along, parent company BMW decided the Coupe and Roadster were a niche too far, so production fizzled out after just one model generation. As a result, the Coupe and Roadster models remain a bit of a rare breed.

And that’s a bit of a shame, because the Mini Coupe and Roadster are in some ways the most honest bodystyles ever produced by the BMW-era Mini. For a start, there’s no pretending they’re a four-seater, because the pair ditch their vestigial rear seats entirely. In the case of the hatchback-tailgated Coupe, that means a useful 280-litre boot (much bigger than in the regular Mini hatchback), and in the case of Roadster, a smaller, neater fabric hood that can be lowered in just five seconds.

While power units mirrored the rest of the Mini range – from the 124hp 1.6 petrol to the 214hp 2.0-litre JCW – suspension settings on both the Coupe and the Roadster were tuned up just a smidge, making the pair the most responsive models in the Mini range.
