MINI Launches First in a Series of Holiday Snow Globes Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, November 21, 2002…

‘Tis the season to ‘motor’ with the debut of the MINI Snow Globe.

The first in a series, this limited edition globe is crafted with a snowy city scene and features a MINI Cooper surrounded by festive pine trees. This holiday offering is certain to bring out the festive MINI motorist in everyone, but be sure to shift into gear and order quickly: There are only 1,200 MINI snow globes available at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $36. To order, log onto www.miniusa.com or visit your local MINI dealership.

The 2002 MINI snow globe features a black base with the MINI logo, and stands approximately five inches high and is four inches in diameter. The globe comes in special MIN packaging with red holiday trim - perfect for tucking under the tree for your motoring loved one.

The MINI holiday globe series is the latest addition to MINI MotoringGeartm , the clothing and products collection that reflects and compliments the MINI brand. The MotoringGear collection debuted in March 2002, following the U.S. re-launch of the MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S.
