  Top 10: Cars that should’ve sold better 21 Apr 2017 (News)
  But many manufacturers have had their corporate fingers burnt over the years by lower-than-expected sales of various models. Most famous of all was Ford’s disastrous Edsel episode of the 1950s, but the British market has also seen its fair share of failures over the years.

The 211PS JCW model is probably more than most buyers will need, so look for a Cooper S. 2008 MINI Convertible Cooper S models tend to be priced at between £10,000 and £11,500, but if you buy from a private seller you might clinch a deal for

  Silver is the New Blue, According to BCA 2 Jul 2009 (News)
  Grey meanwhile - hugely popular on new cars three or four years ago - leapt from seventh in 2008 to fourth in 2009, going from under 7% to over 10% of the total. But Red, a favourite in the 80's and 90's only just made it into the top five after coming third last year and dropped from 12% to 9%. The list also features more unusual colours, as manufacturers use increasingly subtle shades to make their vehicles more appealing - Amethyst, Aluminium and Avalon, or Morello, Mulberry, Mushroom, for example, while Psychedelic Azure and Carbon Quartz typify the new generation of colours, where one word just isn't enough to convey the sumptuousness of the actual colour!
