After six short years, the one millionth MINI was produced in Oxford recently. To do this, MINI has had to ramp up production to 700 MINIs per day (only 300 cars were produced daily back in 2001)! This millionth MINI is like no other, however…

Like all MINIs, the one millionth car was produced to customer order. In this case the ‘customer’ is BMW Group’s heritage division, Mobile Tradition. The designers of the landmark MINI Cooper S were inspired by classic MINI features, but in spite of its numerous special options the one millionth MINI was produced in the regular series production process - a testimony to the plant’s considerable flexibility.
The sporty and unique exterior design of the one millionth MINI is characterised by the colours white (’Pepper White’) and green (’Almond Green’). One of the special highlights is the graphic on the roof which consists of one million little MINIs. The white and green colour theme is also reflected in the car’s leather interior, the basic colour of which is black with black-and-white décor surfaces.
