A MINI like no other: meet the brand’s special custom-crafted MINI John Cooper Works Convertible.
MINI has custom-crafted a special one-off John Cooper Works
Convertible example for a longtime MINI enthusiast. Dubbed the
‘MINI.01’, this road-legal one-off showcases a striking two-tone
colour scheme and over 50 exclusive details throughout its interior
and exterior design. Created especially for a devoted MINI enthusiast
from the United States, the MINI.01 represents a special moment for
MINI Plant Oxford — with a new depth of factory-led personalisation.
The exterior features a distinctive split, triple-layered
two-tone paint finish in Midnight Black and a unique shade of metallic
green personally chosen by the customer— a combination never seen
before on a MINI. The exclusive model is equipped with factory-fitted
JCW accessories, including JCW front and side winglets – which are
colour-matched and embellished with unique details – and 18-inch JCW
Rallye Spoke alloy wheels. The two-tone paint extends to the rear
diffuser, while the wing mirrors are decorated in black and white
stripes. Further additions such as ‘MINI SUPER SPECIAL 001’ wording
above the front wheelarch, and a MINI.01 badge on the boot lid
continue to set the vehicle apart. A Union Jack soft-top roof features
as a tribute to MINI Plant Oxford and the brand’s British heritage.
Green colour-matched accents continue inside the cabin, with the
unique colour decorating elements such as the seat inserts, toggle bar
trim, decorative dashboard strap and Harman Kardon speaker housing.
For a subtle yet effective contrast, the air vents, cupholder
surrounds and door handles are finished in matte white. ‘MINI.01’
badging can be found throughout the interior, including on the six
o’clock steering wheel element, the wireless charging unit and on the
floor mats. Upon entering and exiting the vehicle, passengers are
greeted with backlit doorsill plates with the ‘MINI SUPER SPECIAL .01’
inscription as another reminder that this is a truly special MINI.
Markus Grüneisl, CEO of Plants Oxford and Swindon commented,
“This custom-crafted John Cooper Works Convertible represents a
fantastic collaboration between the MINI product and design teams, the
local market, and Plant Oxford production. We’re delighted with the
result and craftmanship that showcases what our team in the UK can achieve."
With the creation of the MINI.01, the MINI brand further cements
its commitment to vehicle personalisation, while showcasing
manufacturing excellence at the home of MINI, Plant Oxford.
