The standard Mini Cooper Convertible is priced in India at Rs 38.90 lakh which means this limited-edition variant commands a premium of Rs 6 lakh over the standard car. Well, the Sidewalk Edition does not really justify such a high premium for what it brings to the table but given its exclusivity of being limited to just 15 units, it has its own bragging rights. If exclusivity is important to you, this Mini does make a lot of sense.
