Record 2005 Sales for MINI in the UK

MINI Convertible (in its first year of full sales) is the best-selling soft top in the UK and its registrations accounted for 23 per cent of the total 2005 MINI registrations. Overall, MINI recorded a total of 44,770 registrations in the UK, a three per cent increase compared to 2004. The MINI Cooper continued to be the most popular model in the range.

In addition, a record 200,400 MINIs were manufactured at BMW Group Plant Oxford in 2005 for sale around the world. A MINI UK production triangle is being established between the Oxford plant, the BMW Hams Hall engine plant near Coleshill and BMW GroupÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s pressings plant at Swindon in preparation for future model variants.

I wonder if there’s still some animosity among classic owners towards new MINIs in the UK. MINIs seems to be doing quite well over there, and I see more and more pics of classics and new MINIs co-habitating at various UK events. I do hope the ill-feelings have subsided somewhat.

All these convertible owners in England must be hoping that global warming will improve their weather ;)

Yeah Ian C – why a country that has only a few warm fine days a year ever invented the convertible is an enigma. Unless it is because that when the sun does shine they take their tops off and scream down the road in sheer bliss… but then as the old song by Mamas and Papas goes – “It never rains in California, but man let me warn ya, it pours, man it pours!” So what were the sales figures Top sellers comparison? It would be good to see how MINI rated alongside Mazda MX5 Miata and all those other Europe jobs.
