Mini XXL not TLC or TLC XL but the CAR!

So I saw some footage of this beast the other day; does anyone know where it lives, be it the Oxford plant or abroad? Also who owns it, either Mini or private owners?

For those who have no idea what I am talking about here, XXL is a factory-made Mini Limo in red having 6 wheels and a lift-off rear section to create a kind of cabrio effect. Lovely!

I saw it attending the opening up the Mini Bar in Milan in some footage & it looked awesome!

...Anybody?.....

There is/was more than one, I thought they "lived" mostly at Munich, but spend a large amount of time on PR tours.

Yep, there are two of them

There is a Chili red pre-facelift Cooper S XXL - this one lives in Munich and as Paul said is used for PR events in and around Europe...
