The MINI Chateau, based on the MINI Clubman S, made its world debut at
the recent Top Marques show in Monaco. It will be limited to just 12
units and radiates exclusivity and luxury with its wood trims and a
miniature, shock-absorbent wine cellar (room for 6 bottles and
chalices) in the trunk.
The MINI Chateau is painted in
changeable pearly brown, matched with sandy/gold metallic paint for the
roof, bumpers and some details. But what really stands out, is the use
of precious wood, both on the inside and outside of the car. Inside
Aznom fitted the upholstery with gaucho leather and Alcantara to create
a warm, vintage atmosphere.
The car rides on 18-inch TSW 'Pace'
alloy wheels wrapped in 205/40 Yokohama S-Drive rubber. The Mini
Chateau’s 12 limited-edition exclusive samples will each display a
numbered label with the name of the lucky owner. By Tuija Seipell.
