Models

There are three main models in the R50 series – the Cooper, Cooper S and Cabrio.

R50

Cooper (R50)

Arriving first, the Cooper led the introduction of MINI into Australia from March 2, 2002.

R53

Cooper S (R53)

The Cooper S closely followed the Cooper, officially released in June 2002.

R52

Cabrio (R52)

The Cabrio was last to join the range, arriving in Australia in 2005 as both Cooper and Cooper S.

About

Australian R50 has been created to help promote and generate awareness of the R50 generation of MINI and its significance, working to encourage the preservation of these cars.

MINI has been in Australia for two decades, and the number of early cars is now rapidly declining as they reach twenty years old.

Registers

A number of vehicle registers have been created to promote awareness of certain groups of cars with special significance.

Registers are currently maintained for cars made in the first year of production and for the first dealer cars of each series.

Looking for a new project? Save an R50!

As examples of the R50 MINI reach twenty years old, many are being retired or dismantled for parts. Fortunately, they make a fantastic project.

If a classic Mini is out of your budget, or you are just looking for something different, consider saving an R50.

Examples in the UK are fast increasing in value, so get in before they all disappear!
