you must stop by Park Lane MINI! Right in the heart of London and, not surprisingly, on Park Lane! Not far from the Bentley and Rolls Royce and other high-end brand dealerships. Immediately adjacent to the BMW dealership.

Very nice dealership with interesting things to see - will have some pix coming shortly about some of the special models they have on the floor.

And these very friendly young ladies are there to greet you when you enter. They were very nice, showing me the MINI accessories they have available - the beach towel, luggage, hats, etc.



Just a nice addition to an already great trip to the Uk!

 

Here's one of the unusual cars on display at the - a Cooper SD convertible (such teasing!) that has been wrapped in a film that is similar to the JCW look used on the dash and center stack trim. It looked great. From a distance, it simply looks sort of silvery or bronze. You don't appreciate it until you're almost on top of it.

 

Another unusual vehicle treatment, likely not for everyone. They've had a standard CM SD All4 wrapped such that the car looks like it had a flat, gun-metal paint finish. Almost like primer.

I thought it was painted, it was done so well. Amazing workmanship. One of the folks there told me that the film could be removed and you'd have a regular, painted CM!

Wish the pix had come out a bit clearer - hopefully you get the idea.

 

Cool! Last time we were in London was about a year before MINI came to the US. Next time a visit to Park Lane MINI will be in order, as well as the Oxford plant tour.

Thanks for sharing!

 

Somebody was looking for that purse not that long ago. Those wraps look cool. Do you never have to wax those things?
