New city slickers

Olympics host city and international style capital, London, provides fresh design inspiration for Mini’s new special editions.

With just months to go before the Olympic Games get under way in the capital city of the brand’s home country, Mini introduces two new special-edition models to spread contemporary London style around the world. The latest takes on the Mini character – the Mini Baker Street and Mini Bayswater – will go on sale in South Africa from March 2012.

Expressive design features and exclusive equipment inject each car’s exterior appearance, interior ambience and hallmark driving fun with its own distinctive flavour. The Mini Baker Street embodies the youthful, fresh and innovative trend-setting style of the brand, while the Mini Bayswater focuses primarily on the sporting verve and agile handling for which Mini is known.

Both special-edition models will be produced over a limited period and offered for sale worldwide. Locally, the Mini Baker Street will only be available in the Mini Cooper, while the Bayswater will be available in the Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S.
