New Mini Special Edition- Saville Row

I think its sad when they make special editions and they only go to Asia...

And remember the special edition made only for a certain Hong Kong hotel?

We can make one of those right here....and probably for a whole lot less.

Doubt that many here would remember, but back in the day VW had what was called the "Black Tie" Rabbit. Limited Ed with spiffy parts sorta like this.

Wonder what happend to the German made Arden Mini Cooper S they were supposed to build last year ???????? They contracted with MINI to build about 20 of them but have not seen where they were ever marketed.....

If you don't mind that they are knock-offs, eBay has a vendor that makes GP replicas in 17s. Couple people on here have purchased from them, and seem quite happy with them.
