What Happened
A quarter of a century after the first modern MINI rolled off the line in Oxford, MINI introduces the Cooper Oxford Edition. The special edition celebrates the brand's British roots with design elements like the Union Jack on the contrast roof. It is available as a MINI Cooper C or Cooper S 3-door, in three exterior colors: Chili Red, Indigo Sunset Blue, and Blazing Blue.
The exterior features a white contrast roof with a Union Jack graphic, with the flag's central stripe running along the car. White mirror caps and 18-inch Slide Spoke 2-tone wheels with edition-specific hub and valve cap covers complete the look. The design pays homage to MINIs of the past.
Inside, the Union Jack theme continues with a textured printed flag on the steering wheel element at the 6 o'clock position. The driver-side floormat features a circular Union Jack, while the passenger side has a chequered flag pattern. Unique door sills mark the 25-year anniversary.
MINI also launched the Oxford Capsule lifestyle collection to match the vehicle edition. It includes a Traveller Bag, unisex T-shirts, a cap, stickers, and an umbrella walking stick. The textiles are dark blue to mirror the Indigo Sunset Blue paint, with Union Jack-inspired details.
