Well, since I'm always in the hunt of rarer combo/options MINI's, as the title says, I just caught up this one while browsing their website:

I've never seen one of these before. '05 Gold convertible with the cream interior, chrono-pack, and anthracite trim, definitely a rare bird!!! I thought they phased out the Gold color in like '03 or '04!!!
Beautiful!!!

 

Nice find! Solid gold was phased out in Sept.'05.

 

low miles too

 

INMHO - one of the ugliest colours ever on a MINI! :-) They were wise to kill it.

 

I agree. Rare for a reason.

 

Yeah, I never really liked the gold. Looked too "old people" ish.

 

Aw, I liked Solid Gold!

 

I used to drive this Zipcar on a weekly basis around town or on long trips.

I must say I had more positive comments(after a good hand wash of course since it was parked outside)with this color than all the other MINI's I have driven over the years.Loved the Solid Gold!

 

I heard that Solid Gold was extremely popular in the wealthier Middle East countries. Not a choice I'd choose, but definitely rare, nonetheless!

 

I saw a gold Mini getting serviced at the dealer last month in STL, don't know what year it was.

 

The gold is just barely livable, but that interior kills it.
