In fishing on their website, I found this:

Apparently Arden fielded a car in MINI Challenge 2007 and 2009. My German is poor enough that I don’t know if “1. Platz” means “1st place” or “spun, crashed and burned on the first lap.”

There are painfully few details on the Arden site, but the Arden 21 (Jag XFR) is a total beast! There's an article about it in one of the car mags, European Car, I think....

goes to show how subjective this all is — despite all the love from others above, I find the dash to be extremely busy — the mix of flat and glossy blacks, grey, silver, chrome and the brown (both in leather and suede) is way over the top… actually the whole interior is a bit much for me. And I am with those that don’t like the grills.

I cannot imagine paying $50k (or even an extra $500)for that… but maybe that’s just me.

I don’t love the grille but the wheels and the interior are very hot.

They could have at least gotten White Out Turn Signals. The ambers make it look cheap. Other than that the custom job looks…Nice, though a little bling.

Still looking forward to seeing if RR moves forward as I am sure its going to be a nice looking ride.

Still not a fan of painted arches but a good overall build on this car. Has to be one of the better looking R56 I’ve seen.
