Mini three-door anniversary edition: exterior and interior
On the outside, you will find the number 74 on the hood and doors of the anniversary edition. This number can be traced back to the first Mini Cooper to win the game. The anniversary edition also has white hood stripes and red accent lines. The roof, door handles, mirror caps, and headlight rings are all white.
The Cooper Motor Company logo appears on the door sill trim panels, side windows, C-pillars and steering wheel. Although midnight black metallic paint is an option, customers can also get an anniversary edition in the Rebel Green body color, which is a tribute to the car designed by John Cooper.
Inside, the Anniversary Edition has an 8.8-inch central touch screen, Apple CarPlay, a head-up display, wireless smartphone charging and a digital instrument display. The seats are upholstered by Dinamica, and the instrument panel has the signatures of John Cooper, his son John Jr and his grandson Charlie.
