Limited to 2012 units, these models are available in Cooper, Cooper D, Cooper S and Cooper SD trims and come in the Union Jack themed colours; Chilli Red, White Silver or Lightning Blue. All models boast white mirror caps and a white roof featuring the iconic London 2012 Olympic graphic.
They are also distinguished by the Union Jack single sport stripe which runs over the bonnet, roof and rear tailgate. Other distinctive visual features include London 2012 Olympic graphic on side scuttles, and grey 17-inch conical spoke alloy wheels – unavailable on any other MINI model.
