This is the Cooper, the boggo Convertible. A Cooper S or JCW just aren"t in the MX-5"s price or power ballpark. That"s fine, though, because right now the most basic Minis are usually the best. It costs 2,850 more than the hard-top, at 18,495, before you get busy with the spec. This one"s got very busy with many options, so it stacks up to a silly 25k.Since it"s up against pricey opposition, we"ve brought along Mazda"s biggest gun, which in sports-car terms is still a bit of a water pistol. It"s the 2.0-litre MX-5, rocking a standard limited-slip diff, a world-class six-speed manual and 158bhp for the rear tyres to play with. For this, Mazda asks 20,495 from you, in SE-L trim.Photography: Simon Thompson
