MINI and Paul Smith combine two sensibilities that, although coming from different worlds, share the same DNA. Iconic shapes, meticulous attention to detail, and the freedom to reinterpret classic design with unexpected touches. The MINI Paul Smith Edition translates the designer’s distinctive aesthetic into a contemporary key, transforming it into a special edition designed to give the MINI Cooper family an immediately recognizable identity, both outside and inside the cabin. The result is a successful balance between British style and creative spirit, with an elegance that does not give up personality.

The new MINI Paul Smith Edition
This edition stands out from the outside thanks to three colors, two of which are exclusive: Statement Grey reinterprets the gray of the historic 1959 Mini Austin Seven with a delicate blue shade, Inspired White takes up the famous beige of the classic Mini in a modern version, while Midnight Black Metallic completes the range with a refined black already present in the catalog. Enhancing the car’s profile are the contrasts between bodywork, roof, and accent colors, along with the iconic Paul Smith stripes that mark the character of the special edition. Among the most evident references are the Nottingham Green finishes on mirror caps, front grille frame, and hubcap, a tribute to the hometown of the famous designer.
Two “roof” variants
The “roof” chapter also helps make each MINI Paul Smith Edition unique. For hard-top models, two variants are available, Nottingham Green or a more discreet solution with Jet Black, characterized by matte and glossy tone-on-tone striping. Inside, the offer becomes even more personal, with a combination of discreet elegance and creativity. The Vescin/knit Nightshade Blue upholstery interacts with black knitted surfaces embellished with subtle tone-on-tone stripes. There are also “signed” details such as the “Hello” projection when opening the door, the phrase “Every day is a new beginning” on the door sill, and a textile element with stripes on the lower spoke of the sports steering wheel, accompanied by the British humor of the “Rabbit” graphic on the floor mats.

Three versions in the range
The MINI Paul Smith Edition is available for MINI Cooper 3-door (electric and petrol), MINI Cooper 5-door, and MINI Cooper Cabrio, offering a set of distinctive elements designed to celebrate the brand’s heritage and the designer’s taste. Among the key points: exterior colors Statement Grey, Inspired White, and Midnight Black Metallic, Nottingham Green accents for mirrors, grille, and hubcap, Nottingham Green roof option with stripe on the driver’s side or Jet Black with tone-on-tone striping and, on the technology front, three exclusive Paul Smith backgrounds in Personal Mode for the circular display.
