The Mini ‘Inspired by Goodwood’ was thoroughly reworked by Rolls Royce Design to create the most luxurious and opulent MINI ever conceived.
A limited-run special edition MINI, whose exterior and interior design is inspired by the finest materials and Rolls Royce’s commitment to absolutely flawless workmanship and presentation.
Number 907 of 1000 made, it is believed that 119 cars were delivered new to the UK. Of those 119 it’s believed that 19 were finished in Reef Blue, and 28 of the 119 cars were fitted with a manual gearbox.
The opulent and exclusive interior is in truly excellent condition throughout with only some slight wear being evident on the driver’s seat bolster.
The dashboard, including the surrounds of the central instrument and the air vents, the centre console, carpet surfaces, the Lounge leather seats, the roof lining as well as the door, side and body pillar cladding boast the exclusive Rolls-Royce colour Cornsilk, a warm and natural shade of beige.
The upper section of the instrument panel, which is lined with extremely high-quality, soft full-grain leather, the dashboard and door handle surfaces are finished in Walnut Burr, a wood quality also exclusive to Rolls-Royce.
The black nappa leather dashboard top, Tipped Leather Cornsilk door linings as well as Piano Black surface finishes for the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel and the controls below the central instrument all provide additional quality-enhancing accents.
The matching black dials for the speedometer and rev counter bear the same typeface as their Rolls-Royce counterparts and the carpet mats have a deep-pile lambswool quality also featured in Rolls-Royce models.IMG_5994.jpg1.74 MB
