There are at least 5 other threads right here in NAM that address the issue. But in case you are not familiar, here is what you need to know:

Mayfair, Camden, Rolls MINI Anyone??

Yes, it is true. MINI has recently announced ( www.MotoringFile.com ) a number of cool new special editions celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Mini. As noted in MotoringFile on March 11th, 2009, there will be a couple of models available soon at your local MINI dealership, Ralph Schomp MINI in Littleton, CO:

~ MINI Mayfair – Hot Chocolate body color with unique wheels, interior trim, and badges
~ MINI Camden – Silver White color (as in R52 Sidewalk), with unique wheels, interior trim, and badges
~ MINI Rolls Royce – details tba
~ MINI JCW World Championship 50 – 211 whp and a twin-scroll turbo, plus badging and more

Yes, you will soon see some of each of these locally. Want one? Interested for yourself? Know someone who is? Of course. So let your local MINI manager know. Just call Mike Dankert and let him know if you have some interest. Of course, I am sure he is considering how many of each to order and have available, and if you want one, you should act now and show your interest.

Just a heads up….that there is also discussion on your favorite MINI podcast at www.WhiteRoofRadio.com .

Were these models officially announced for the US market? Another NAMer told me otherwise...

 

with whom we have much contact and close communications...is preparing their 'order' and trying to determine how many to request for the local market.

That tells me everything I need to know.
