Spy Shots: Rolls-Royce MINI one-off
Filed under: Spy Photos, MINI
People love to imagine bigger and better things for the long-running MINI. Whether it’s a new Speedster version or a revived MINI Moke, the platform inspires daydreaming. Apparently, it aspires, too, to a more pimped-out existence. Rumors of a Rolls Royce-branded MINI have been floating around recently, stoked most recently by a series of pictures taken recently at London’s famous Park Lane MINI dealership. Sadly, this is not a production Rolls-Royce MINI. Instead, this is a MINI made for “a recent dealer event,” and a MINI spokesperson told theSwitchback that a MINI Rolls has not yet been approved for production. Sorry. Still, anyone who’s going to do any speculation about the MINI/Rolls-Royce collaboration could use this car as inspiration: it’s got magnolia-colored leather practically everywhere, including the roof lining and the air vent bezels. Everything else is covered in walnut wood and glossy piano-black trim. It may not be a production preview, but it sure is a pretty MINI.
