Three special editions mark half a century of MINI
The MINI 50 Mayfair and MINI 50 Camden editions will go in to production in August 2009 for one year only.
MINI 50 Mayfair
This uniquely-specified model seeks to capture the rich heritage and traditional features of the classic Mini. Styling features including unique 17-inch, 12-spoke Infinity Stream alloy wheels finished in white, three dimensional bonnet stripes in an all-new Toffee metallic finish, additional headlights on the radiator grille, mirror caps in black with Hot Chocolate pinstripes and a discreet “Mayfair” logo positioned next to the car’s indicator lenses are all fitted as standard. The MINI 50 Mayfair is available in Hot Chocolate or Midnight Black metallic finishes with contrasting white roof, or Pepper White solid paintwork with black roof.
Seats in Leather Lounge specification reflect the car’s classic exterior design cues. The white piping against Toffee-coloured leather is set off by stitching in a turquoise-green hue. The ‘Mayfair’ logo again features on the front seat backrests.
The Carbon Black interior trim is paired with a dash finish identical to the exterior mirror caps.
Toffee colouring extends to the knee-roll below the dash, gearshift lever knob and an inlay situated in the lower half of the steering wheel.
Interior door trim panels are Piano Black, the floor mats carry white piping around their edges and the premium-finish Chrome Line Interior completes the interior line-up.
MINI 50 Camden
Predominantly silver, white and black in colour, the MINI 50 Camden has a striking appearance. Its dynamic character is denoted by body paint in White Silver metallic, in combination with a solid white roof. The MINI 50 Camden will also be available in Midnight Black or Horizon Blue metallic finishes.
A 17-inch alloy wheel in an all-new White Shield design is exclusive to this model and is notable through contrasting silver inner surfaces and matt, polished contour lines around the outer edge of the rim.
Bonnet stripes extending from the headlamps toward the car’s A-pillars are finished in an almost 3D silver stripe trim, accentuating the futuristic appearance of the car.
Like the MINI 50 Mayfair, the mirror caps are two-tone, in white silver with silver pinstripes. Xenon headlights are a standard feature, boasting black internal reflectors, adding to its unique, futuristic appeal.
The side indicator frames house a black and white Union Jack badge and “Camden” logo. These are in addition to a “MINI 50” logo on the door entry trim.
The interior trim is equally impressive in this special newcomer. Carbon Black colouring contrasts with a dash finished in white silver/silver pinstripes.
The trim panels in the doors are supplied in Fluid Silver as standard. Sports seats in Carbon Black Cloth and Leather Ray White upholstery boast leather surfaces matched to the bottom edge of the instrument panel and armrests in the door linings, all finished in Tech White. The seats themselves carry the “Camden” logo in the backrests. Stitching in a mixture of black and turquoise-green provides an additional colour highlight and also features on the black gaiters around the gearshift and handbrake levers.
