2010 MINI John Cooper Works Cabrio arrives

We’ve added Mini John Cooper Works cars to our favourites list in the last few months given their incredibly impressive handling and performance. In August we wrote about the Mini John Cooper Works Cabrio and now it has arrived.

We won’t bore you with all the details as you can read our previous article on the car. However we thought we’d add the specifications and Australian photos to our gallery for all interested Mini fans.
