Rolls Royce MINI

Would you buy one of these? I've read the price will be about $66,000. Since it's only interior upgrades, I don't see the point in spending that much on what mechanically is still an MCS.

pictures of the interior make me wonder what happened to Tuscan leather and English Oak interior - with the steering wheel and shift **** (neither was 'extra' cost in 2007)

I think one of the key reasons for buying a MINI is bang for the buck. Once that buck is above a certain amount there are a whole lot of other cars that come into the mix. $66,000 for a MINI is beyond stupid IMHO but as long as you're not spending MY money...

Its a leather lined interior. I can see it being a $5k package but not worth $15k-$20k premium.

What the hell are you talking about? I’m one set of urethane bushings from having that much in the mini...


(no, not really.... it’s more like two sets of urethane bushings.)

Ummm... not my cup of tea but I think my grandma would love it!

Nicest interior I have seen on a MINI was the Camden interior. A close second was a Midnight Black JCW with the redwood interior.

I love that the MINI is still all about personal choice. There is someone out there that will love this interior... and will be willing to keep it clean!

I saw these pictures last month. I honestly don't see how you could keep the floor clean in a normal day to day use. More of a collector car honestly. Could be worth a fortune if stored and kept forever lol
