MINI Hatch Inspired By Goodwood

The Inspired by Goodwood was Mini's nod to the Rolls-Royce plant down the road, and at launch it was the most expensive production Mini yet, at around £41,000 new. Only 119 were supplied to the UK. This one wears Diamond Black Metallic, a Rolls-Royce paint colour.

The cabin carries most of the story: cornsilk leather of the sort used in Phantom and Wraith models, burr walnut trim, a cashmere headlining, and lambswool rugs that the page says are unused. Instruments use Rolls-Royce lettering. The spec also includes navigation, Harman Kardon audio, heated seats, adaptive xenon headlights and 17-inch Goodwood alloys. Power is 181 bhp.

It has covered 12,400 miles from new and has had one owner. It was supplied in July 2012 by Marshall of Hampshire, and the book has ten Marshall stamps, the last at 12,399 miles, backed by invoices. The history file holds the original new-car paperwork and all three keys.
