IN the 15 years since the rebirth of the MINI brand, one of the key attractions is the vast choice of options and trim to make any model truly yours and now new MINI Seven models salute the classic original – the very first Mini, the 1959 Austin Seven.

There are to be ‘Seven’ badged  limited edition versions of the Cooper, Cooper D, Cooper S and Cooper SD.

Although rather than the very basic equipment of the original, this time around the MINI Seven has been developed to showcase both the distinctive style and the luxurious modern values of the brand.

As thus, the MINI Seven, which is available in three- or five-door versions are instantly recognisable by its striking Lapisluxury Blue MINI Yours body finish – which MINI claim is the most intensive blue tone ever applied. Blue not appeal? Well, there are three other body finishes from the MINI paint range to choose from; Pepper White, Midnight Black and British Racing Green.

These colours are combined with a contrasting Melting Silver roof and exterior mirror caps as standard. Plus, MINI Seven door sill finishers and side scuttles with the MINI Seven logo, plus 17-inch light alloy wheels in exclusive MINI Seven Spoke two-tone design to complete the exterior look. Bonnet stripes in Melting Silver with surround in Malt Brown are also available as an option.

Inside, the eye-catching design cues continue with sports seats finished in fabric/leather finish Diamond Malt Brown, which is designed exclusively for MINI Seven.

Just in case you forget what you’re driving, there’s also a MINI Seven logo on the central instrument which surrounds the MINI Visual Boost 6.5’’ colour display, which is standard equipment along with MINI Connected, Bluetooth Handsfree with USB audio, floor mats, MINI Excitement Pack, automatic dual-zone air conditioning and storage compartment pack.
