Model numbers.

From Wikipedia:
"All MINI models have R-series model numbers assigned to them. These are a legacy of the MINI's original development within Rover Group. The following designations are known:
R50: "Mk I" MINI One and Cooper (originally R59 within Rover Group)
R52: "Mk I" MINI Convertible
R53: "Mk I" MINI Cooper S
R54: "Mk I" MINI Convertible
R55: MINI Clubman/Traveller
R56: "Mk II" MINI One, Cooper, S and D
R57: "Mk II" MINI Convertible
R58: Possible future four-wheel drive MINI"
2006 was the last year for the R50 & R53.
2007 is the last year for the R52 & R54.

Twin scroll turbo has virtually no lag, and LOTS of low end torque. Also has "overboost" which temporarily kicks up the torque from ~178 to like 192 ft.lbs. The supercharger had to be "spun up" to higher rpm's for full effect.

I was in the mini dealer in N Hollywood 7 weeks ago with my pal, greeted by unfriendly sales people. The car has hots of personalities but not of rooms even with the Clubman version, I love the name with stone age origin by the way .
Last month a MD guy showed up with real basic one, he said he paid 25K, with his two kids and wife inside. They are lucky they are Asians with small frame. And yet now I see her with her behemoth Nissan Almada I though they've got rid of.

Good luck searching.
This comes from a man who spend childhood in Japan in lot smaller cars.
