2011 Mini Cooper Hardtop

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced for the 2011 model year, the Mini Cooper Hardtop marked a confident moment for the brand’s modern revival under BMW stewardship. As part of the second-generation R56 series, it built on the design and engineering launched in 2007 while refining the formula that reintroduced Mini to a global audience. Its instantly recognizable shape—short wheelbase, contrasting roof, and upright glass—paid homage to the original 1959 Mini, yet its structure, safety systems, and fit and finish were thoroughly contemporary.

Under the hood, the standard Cooper and sportier Cooper S used 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines developed with PSA Peugeot Citroën, delivering energetic performance and sharp throttle response. A six-speed manual gearbox remained standard, while an automatic option broadened its appeal. Go-kart-like handling, a defining MINI trait, continued to set it apart from other small cars. As driving.ca found in its February 2011 test, “These cars are a blast to drive, offer good fuel economy and will likely retain their resale value because they’re so darn cute.”

Originally purchased from Bavarian BMW in Shelby Township, Michigan, this 2011 Mini Cooper Hardtop has had two owners since new.

This 2011 Mini Cooper Hardtop is now offered at no reserve with owner’s manuals, service receipts, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.
