After months of speculation, we've finally tracked down the first spy photos of the new Mini Cooper S D. Our spyshots even confirm the Cooper S D badge – there for all to see on the back of this convertible.

What's this then? A new Mini rag-top? Yes. We've seen the same-again-but-new Mini hatchback, and next up is the new Convertible.
