I would have liked to see a special production run iof MINIs in special metallic/pearlescent versions of the Union Jack red, white and blue....but it's not going to happen.

Anyway, too late for us, our orders are now in the system!

i heard of two versions. one more sporty - like the 1st gen. Checkmate, one more luxury like the Park Lane. but cost savings could drop some of the spec ideas.

Does anyone know whether there is likely to be a limited edition produced soon to celebrate the 50year anniversary, in the same vein as the Mini 25, 30, etc?

Damn you beat me to it! Thats right think "Park Lane"

This is latest from the USA Motoring File website on a MINI 50 special edition............

MotoringFile Archive MF Exclusive: MINI 50th Anniversary Special Edition Models Revealed

Quote:-
As we’ve reported previously MINI will be debuting two special edition models in May this year at MINI United in Silverstone England. But now we have details on the names and the specification:

* Mayfair: Hot Chocolate body color with unique wheels, interior trim and badges
* Camden: Silver White (R52 Sidewalk color) with unique wheels, interior trim and badges

Like the 2006 special edition MINIs, don’t expect any mechanical differences under the hood. Instead look for these to send out the R56 out in style before it’s mid life-cycle refresh either late this year or early next.

We’ll have much more in the weeks ahead. And look for a full debut at Silverstone in May at MINI United.

The mayfair sounds interesting...in a nice way, it had better have the english or lounge leather though!!
