There will
be just 2,012 of these special edition models
built, which are available in Cooper, Cooper D,
Cooper S and Cooper SD trims and come in the
Union Jack themed colours; Chilli Red, White
Silver or Lightning Blue. All models boast white
mirror caps and a white roof featuring the
iconic London 2012 Olympic graphic.
The exterior also
features a distinctive Union Jack single sport
stripe which runs over the bonnet, roof and rear
tailgate of the car. The side scuttles also bear
the London 2012 Olympic graphic. To finish off
the dynamic look, the MINI London 2012 edition
features unique grey 17-inch conical spoke alloy
wheels – unavailable on any other MINI model. |
Inside, the most striking
feature is the London skyline,
beautifully etched across the
width of the piano-black
dashboard. Silhouetting some of
London’s most iconic landmarks,
including Tower Bridge,
Battersea Power Station and the
London Eye, the dashboard also
displays the words “London 1 of
2012”.
The London 2012 inspiration continues
with red and blue stitching twined with white piping on both the front
and rear Black ‘Lounge Leather’ upholstery. The headrests complement the
theme with Union Jack piping and a London 2012 logo is stitched on the
inner edge of both front seats. Coloured stitching also features on the
hand brake, gear stick gaiter and floor mats which also have piping.
All London 2012 special edition models
come packed with a bundle of extra options like Lounge Leather sports
seats, DAB radio, air conditioning, cruise control and chrome interior
touches. MINIMALISM technology* also comes as standard; helping to make
the 99g/km CO2 emitting Cooper D models exempt from London
Congestion Charging.
As well as fuel sipping mpg figures and
low CO2 emissions – MINI is one of the top five low CO2
car manufacturers** - drivers can enjoy the brand’s trademark go-kart
handling and charismatic personality in a truly patriotic driving
experience.
