2013 Mini Inspired By Goodwood

2012 Mini Cooper 'S' INSPIRED BY GOODWOOD - 6 Speed Manual

Conceived by the Rolls-Royce Design division as an ultra-premium flagship edition of the personalise 'MIMI Yours' range, The Mini Inspired by Goodwood was a limited edition of just 1000 examples built worldwide of which 119 were sold in the UK. As a manual, this example is rarer: One of only 28.

With full main dealer service history from new, it has been immaculately maintained and presents in excellent condition.

This example was first registered in June 2013 and has had six owners with the current owner having this as part of a classic car collection and not for everyday driving.

The cabin is a truly special place to be in with luxurious Rolls-Royce legendary craftsmanship. The dash, including instrument surrounds and air vents, the centre console, seats, door trims and body pillars are all trimmed in Rolls-Royce exclusive 'Cornsilk Connolly' hide leather, supple and soft to the touch - and of course, with that inimitable Rolls-Royce smell.

The headlining and sun visors are trimmed in Cashmere, while the top of the dash and door tops are stitched in black Nappa leather. There are discrete fillets of real burr Walnut, with glossy black Piano trim for the switchgear and steering wheel controls. Even the instruments are special. with the same font used by Rolls-Royce.

Deep-pile lambswool floor mats finish off the tactile delights, and the interior is in impeccable order, as you would expect.

The engine and six-speed manual transmission are in perfect order, being maintained by the book by main MINI dealerships. There are no known faults.
