Graham Hill’s Review Of A Daft Car

Wednesday, 4. May 2011

As you may or may not know Mini is owned by BMW who also own Rolls Royce. Well those clever (or totally daft) people at BMW have decided to create a Rolls Royce of Minis called the Mini Goodwood. The car will be built in the same way that the £285,000 Phantom would be built using the same materials! Just what we all need of course, another ridiculously expensive ordinary car although at £40,000 it’s not as expensive as I thought it might be. Based on the Cooper S but featuring Burr wood and Corn Silk Leather (does that mean the cows were fed on corn).

It is trimmed in black hide with piano black switchgear. The standard 1.6 petrol turbo engine is fitted with either a 6 speed manual box or 6 speed auto.

OK that’s enough of that dopey car, if you want one get in quick as it will go on sale in 2012 and only 1,000 are being made. Dear me I’ve just read that the headlining will be made out of cashmere – that’s enough, I’m off! By Graham Hill
