MINI INSPIRED BY GOODWOOD brochure

James — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:00:26 +0000

1 OF 1000.

MINI INSPIRED BY GOODWOOD.

The newest addition to the Library of Motoring collection is this brochure for the limited, custom MINI INSPIRED BY GOODWOOD model built in partnership with Rolls-Royce. Made of thick, glossy card-stock, the tri-fold brochure has two descriptive panels and a photo compartment. The cover is printed with the signature “Alan Sheppard for MINI”. Inside, the MINI INSPIRED BY GOODWOOD is described:

Introducing the Goodwood-inspired MINI Cooper S Hardtop. This beautiful beast is limited to just 1,000 cars in the world, but that’s where the limitations stop. Thanks to the artistry of Alan Sheppard, Chief Interior Designer at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, you’ll be surrounded by luxury every curve-hugging, motoring moment. Which means cornsilk-beige leather, cashmere headliner and visors, lamb’s wool floor mats and woods such as walnut. Plus, you can choose between two exterior colors: Rolls-Royce Diamond Black or Reef Blue Metallic. It’s still a MINI on the outside. But huge on luxury on the inside.

MINI INSPIRED BY GOODWOOD. A MINI Yours Design Model.

Four glossy photos are included.
