It seems incredible, but this 2022 is celebrated 20 years since Mini’s return to North America hand in hand with BMW. It wasn’t the cool, microscopic subcompact car dreamed up by designer Sir Alec Issigonis in 1959 on a napkin, but a reinterpretation of that celebrated model with contemporary German technology, more modern dimensions (read “much larger”), and all the latest advancements. in automotive engineering created over the last four decades.
Twenty years and three generations later, the successful compact hatchback became a line of vehicles that today are a symbol of social mobility among America’s young professionals. To celebrate the anniversary, Mini announced not one but three special editions, which will be available between each of the models that make up the Mini line.
Mini Cooper Resolute Edition
The special 20th anniversary edition of the Mini Cooper Hardtop, Mini Cooper SE electric and MiniCooper Convertible models will be known as the Resolute Edition.
Resolute Edition models are distinguished by their Rebel Green color with hints of Pepper White on the mirror caps and roof – the convertible version comes with a black cloth top. The rest of the package is made up of bonnet stripes, unique door sill protectors and yellow and cream tweed upholstery. In the case of the electric Mini Cooper SE, the 18-inch black wheels of the gasoline model are replaced by 17-inch aerodynamic ones.
