MINI Roadster priced at £18,000

MINI has revealed how much the Roadster will cost when it hits the showrooms shortly.

It'll be £18,020 before you've even put any stripes on the bonnet. That puts the two-seat convertible, based on the MINI Coupé, squarely against the Mazda MX-5. A base model one of those, with a 1.8 petrol engine, costs £17,990.
