Mini creates one-off John Cooper Works Convertible for longtime enthusiast

Mini has created a one-off John Cooper Works Convertible for a long-serving customer.

Named the ‘Mini.01’, the car will be delivered to the client in the United States, while the vehicle was produced at the firm’s plant in Oxford.

The Mini.01 features a triple-layered two-tone paint finish in Midnight Black and a unique shade of metallic green chosen by the customer.

The car is equipped with 18-inch JCW Rallye Spoke alloy wheels, a two-tone rear diffuser, a Union Jack soft-top fabric roof, black door mirrors with white stripes and a ‘Mini Super Special 001’ wording located on the front wheel arch

Inside, there are green-coloured accents found on the seat inserts, toggle bar trim, the dashboard strap and Harman Kardon speaker surrounds.

There is a matte white finish around the air vents, cupholders and door handles, while the ‘Mini.01’ badge can be found on the steering wheel, wireless phone charger and floor mats. Meanwhile, the door sills are complemented by illuminated ‘Mini Super Special 001’ inscriptions on the scuff plates.

Markus Grüneisl, CEO of Mini’s Oxford and Swindon plant, said: “This custom-crafted John Cooper Works Convertible represents a fantastic collaboration between the Mini product and design teams, the local market, and Plant Oxford production. We’re delighted with the result and craftsmanship that showcases what our team in the UK can achieve.”

The Mini.01 is just a one-off special, though the firm has not revealed how much the American customer has paid for this unique creation.
