MINI Goodwood Price? A cool £41k

MINI Goodwood - more than twice the price of a Cooper S

MINI has revealed that it’s Rolls Royce makeover of the MINI Cooper S – the MINI ‘Inspired by Goodwood’ will cost £41k. The first MINI Goodwood Edition cars will arrive in March 2012.

We did wonder, tongue in cheek, when BMW revealed they were making the MINI Roller – the MINI ‘Inspired by Goodwood’ – if we would see the first MINI with a list price of £50k.

Of course, even BMW aren’t bold enough to make a production MINI – even one with Rolls Royce fairy dust sprinkled on at Goodwood – cost so much. But they’ve come damn close.

The MINI Goodwood will set you back a not inconsiderable £41,000, MINI has announced at the Goodwood Moving Motor Show this morning, and UK deliveries will kick off in March 2012. But what are you getting for all that money?

Effectively you’re getting a titivated MINI Cooper S with the bonnet off the MINI One. The paintwork is a Rolls Royce colour – Diamond Black – and there are some bespoke alloys.

The money is on the inside, with burr walnut and cornsilk leather liberally plastered around and a RR typeface on the instruments. You get adaptive Xenons, Harmon Kardon and Climate, cashmere roof lining and lambswool mats.

A veritable little Roller.
