Mini introduces eight Seven special editions

Consider anybody who buys a Mini Seven to be either a squanderer of cash or a mug. Sure, this limited edition boasts a unique and very tasteful colour scheme, but the premiums being charged are exorbitant.

Incredibly, the Cooper and Cooper D versions cost £3,060 more than the regular models which they're based on. The equivalent figure for the Cooper S and Cooper SD is £2,340.

So what does that extra outlay get?

On the outside, the Seven features Lapisluxury Blue paintwork with a contrasting Melting Silver finish on the roof and door mirror caps. Midnight Black, British Racing Green and Pepper White are available as alternatives for those customers who (inexplicably) might want their cars to look like any other Mini.

Door sill kickplates and side scuttle panels with 'Seven' logos on them are fitted, plus bespoke 17” alloy wheels are part of the specification too.

Front sports seats and part-leather upholstery enhance the interior. Malt Brown stitching matches the dashboard knee rolls and door armrests, while the trim pieces are Piano Black.

The Mini Seven is available to order now. If the basic invoice amount doesn't seem quite high enough, then it can be increased by the optional Seven Chili pack. This includes LED headlights, full leather, a Nappa-leather-covered multi-function steering wheel and cruise control.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
