This one is a bit less spartan than that original however. Outside, there are silver door mirror caps, silver roof and 17-inch alloy wheels, the Seven is finished in striking Lapisluxury Blue - "the most intensive blue tone ever applied to a MINI" according to the factory. You can also have British Racing Green, Pepper White or Midnight Black.
Inside you get a unique 'Diamond Malt Brown' finish to the part-leather upholstery, the 6.5-inch infotainment screen, dual-zone climate and some option packs specially tweaked for the Seven, including LED headlights.
The MINI Seven will get a public premiere at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed, though MINI's Irish dealers are ready to take orders now. Prices start at €27,090 on-the-road for the MINI 3-door Seven or €28,270 for the MINI 5-door Seven.
