Can anyone help, I need to know what variant this Mini Cooper is, the V5 states Variant: MR32

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

It was registered 28.10.2009, they changed from R56 in 2009 but can't figure out which one it is.

Is this a R56 or R57?

Thanks in advance thumbup

Sorry, got the question slightly wrong...R56 is the hatchback.

R57 is the convertible from 2009 to 2015, but mid 2010 (I think), is this when the facelift was carried out?

So if registered 28.10.2009 looks like it's pre facelift?

Believe this is pre facelift as the reverse lights are located in the main tail-lights rather than the bumper.

Yes its the pre face lift, the heater controls & central controls for the radio etc are grey , the later model has a black finish.

Mr Vert, it’s a good time of year to buy a convertible....you just need an inch or two of snow for maximum negotiation (& also mention the colour isn’t exactly popular!) hehe

The car is the Mother In Laws....a buyer queried which model it is hence the question.

Hopefully sold now, thanks for the replies thumbup
