    Just starting to get info on a Mini replacement for my '84 El Camino. My wife says I need something she can drive, so.......

    Looking at either a Mini Convertible, or a Mini Roadster convertible.
    Looks like a Gen 3, but still trying to differentiate the R57, R21, R43, R39, 42,56, 101??? Etc.???
    Looks like a British conspiracy as payback for 1776.

    Any suggestions from Convertible/Roadster owners would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Welcome to M\A the FUN MINI site. :Thumbsup:

    Look for a late 1st gen 05-06 convertable S. The will be cheaper and are more fun and better looking then the new MINIs.

    Oh did I mention it's Supercharged? It's an adidicting sound.

    Welcome to the coolest MINI forum on the net.............:cool:


    Whether its an R50 or an R61 or anything in between MINI will be a great replacement for the El Camino.
