All colours can be contrasted by a choice of Pepper White or black roof and exterior mirror caps, with bonnet stripes, 60 Years logos and a bespoke 17-inch alloy wheel design completing the look.

The unique logo also shows up inside on the front headrests and steering wheel, and LED puddle light projection when the driver's door is opened.

Sports leather steering wheel and exclusive Dark Maroon leather finish seats are also standard.

All Mini 60 Years versions also feature LED headlights and fog lamps, ‘Union Jack’ LED tail-lights, while the Mini Excitement Package adds ambient lighting. There is also an onboard computer, automatic air conditioning, a rain sensor and a storage package as part of the deal.
