To celebrate an exceptional female driver’s talents, the British brand has announced a tribute model. This is the Pat Moss Edition!
Pat Moss took a classic Mini to victory in the Tulip Rally in May 1962. This race took place from the Dutch municipality of Noordwijk to the French Riviera and back, quite the feat! Pat Moss and co-driver Ann Wisdom paved the way for an extraordinary career for the classic Mini. In 1964, 1965 and 1967, the British small car secured outright victory in the Monte Carlo Rally.
To celebrate this victory, the Mini Pat Moss has been built. Limited to just 800 units and available across the 3-door and 5-door range, this special edition feature a number of unique design elements. The Mini Pat Moss Edition is available in Cooper S flavour with 141 kW and John Cooper Works with 170 kW.
One of the coolest visual elements is the ombre-style roof. Mini calls it the Multitone roof and we just love the colour gradient effect. Other noteworthy design elements is the tulip logo on the C-pillars and side scuttles, as well as the Pat Moss name on the nose. The wheel hub covers feature an exclusive design with a graphic based on the tulip.
On the sides, the route of the 1962 race is detailed, while a horizontal white bonnet stripe is quite radical in comparison to the typical bonnet stripe layout.
Inside, there’s a signature on the piano black surface of the passenger area, the sports leather steering wheel features a tulip graphic on the lower spoke and there’s a cool abstract graphic of engine pistons.
