Here is an article from Autoblog featuring photos of the MINI Mayfair & Camden 50th anniversary models...
Interesting to see an all white MINI option!

I really like the interior treatment, but the wheels are pretty nasty.

I'd be interested in a Coupe in Hot Chocolate, but I've avoided 17" wheels so far and I'm not too fond of the interior treatments.

Wonder why they didn't put the white wheels on it?

I love the factory black tinted headlights on the Camden. That's the Joey Mod, right? Anyway, hopefully they trickle down to production some day.

That's the '!' symbol which means the door open with the key in the ignition.

Looks like there will also be a very limited edition JCW in a non-metallic BRG. Story here: http://www.motoringfile.com/2009/04/...ecial-edition/

You can also view the full MINI press release here: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/05...-with-two.html

camden needs anthracite headliner, and yes, the wheels are bad news. Pretty cool finish on both of them though, I like the details.

I dont know what you guys are talking about, I like both the wheels, especially the Camdens, very original.

And i think its safe to assume that the 2010 mini will look pretty similar to these, except for the fancy trims and stuff... but who knows!

If that flat BRG was available when I ordered my car, DS would not have even been considered!

I would like to see the factory "Joey Mod" in person. Looks a lot more subtle than the DIY version. I think I like it.

$5000 for leather, really heavy wheels, a joey mod and a color?

Ouch. No thanks.

Looks good, but that's a STEEP upcharge for exclusivity, zero performance gain, and heavier wheels than stock.

Saw a Mayfair today. There is a guy here in Jax that just bought one. The badge is not a regular badge it is mounted like the driving lights and is not removable with out popping the bonnet. I looks sweet in person. That car is pure sex on a Popsicle stick

I read it the same way....is this true? is this another MC40? ....EDIT..a quote from MOTORINGFILE.

"Expect the car to feature the JCW drivetrain, aerokit and some exclusive F1 badging throughout the car."

I love the paint colors, but hate the sticker price.
