MINI is increasing its model range with the value-packed, special edition MINI Graphite. Offering enhanced standard equipment levels over existing Hatch models, the MINI Graphite edition will be available in MINI One, Cooper and Cooper D guise; each offering an unbeatable combination of low ownership costs as well as exclusivity.

An impressive standard feature of every MINI Graphite edition is the inclusion of Dark Silver metallic paint, which is normally reserved for MINI Cooper S and John Cooper Works models. The following options complete the MINI Graphite line-up:

• Dark Silver metallic paint
• Black Bonnet Stripes
• White Indicator Lenses
• Piano Black Interior
• Graphite badge on B-pillars
• 15-inch Rotator Spoke alloy wheels

MINI One Graphite will start at £13,075 OTR. If buyers want to fork out a little extra for the Cooper and Cooper D Graphite models (cost £14,590 and £15,660 OTR) they will have the choice between black or white bonnet stripes and both will be kitted out with beefier 16-inch alloy rims.

Special edition models have been hugely successful since the launch of the new MINI in July 2001. In recent years, editions carrying the monikers Checkmate, Park Lane and MINI One Se7en have set MINI owners apart from the pack and are highly sought after in the used car market. Source: Mini Cooper
