Mini 50 Mayfair and Mini 50 Camden Unveiled at Mini United Festival

Today Mini kicks off its 50th birthday bash at the MINI United Festival in Silverstone, U.K. In addition to the George Harrison Mini Cooper one-off model, Mini unveiled a couple of special edition models to commemorate its half-century anniversary. The new models are called the Mini 50 Mayfair and Mini 50 Camden.

Mayfair and Camden are the names of boroughs in London. The two cars emulate the boroughs for which they were named. The Mini 50 Mayfair boasts three available paint schemes: “Hot Chocolate,” “Pepper” White or “Midnight” Black. It also comes with a white roof, exclusive 17-inch white-painted wheels, stripes on the hood, pin stripes on the body, grille-mounted fog lights, and discrete “Mayfair” logos on the turn indicators on the sides. Inside, the seats are finished in “Lounge” leather with accent piping around the edges. Other interior accents include turquoise-green double-cap seams on the seats and shifter knob, special trim on the dashboard, and door sills bearing the “Mini 50″ model designation and the “Mayfair” logo.

Mini 50 Camden models also are available in three colors combined with a white roof: “White Silver” metallic, “Midnight” Black metallic or “Horizon” Blue metallic. It also wears a set of exclusive 17-inch wheels and features silver stripes on the hood. Its exterior is further distinguished with standard xenon headlights with black-tinted lenses, and side indicator frames with the Union Jack in black and white and the “Camden” model logo. Inside, the Mini 50 Camden boasts door sills with “Mini 50″ logos, special trim on the instrument panel, “Fluid” Silver door panels, and cloth/Ray leather sport seats with “Camden” logos on the backrests.

Both models are available with three engine choices. Buyers can choose the inline-four cylinder gas engine from the standard Cooper, the turbocharged engine from the Cooper S, or the efficient diesel engine from the Cooper D. The cars also come standard with the HiFi audio system and the Mission Control entertainment system. Pricing and availability for the two models has yet to be announced.
