MINI Goodwood at Shanghai
MINI are taking a luxury MINI concept to the Shanghai Motor Show in April – the MINI Goodwood Concept – which is effectively a MINI Rolls Royce. It could be argued that we could make up any concept for a MINI and, if we were to wait long enough, MINI would get round to fulfilling […]
