Another special limited edition, this time done by a Italian premium winemaker to look like a bottle of their 1985 wine from the top. It comes with one bottle of Sassicaia wine (not necessarily the ’85 vintage).
It’s interesting to know that a bottle of ’85 Sassicaia goes for about $1000 at auction $1400 retail… however they’re trying to sell these MINIs with a markup as if they were including a FULL case of wine. But the wheels and interior sure look special!

<p>I like it. Interior is interesting. Roof graphic looks cool. Nice wheels.</p>
<p>The links to the additional pics just send me back to the Motoring File page. Do you have any more pics, especially of the interior and whatever is going on on the roof?</p>
<p>Try clicking again…</p>
<p>Seems to me they should be paying us for advertising their wine! The interior is nice enough but it looks like a promo/advertising-car not something a private citizen would drive.</p>
<p>Nice Mini, but mine is still the BEST!!</p>
<p>I like the bonnet strip/cowl treatment.</p>
<p>I’ll take my “TWO BUCK CHUCK” over that mess.</p>
<p>Amen on the 2-Buck Chuck !!!</p>
<p>i do this interior,if you want more info send me a mail!!!</p>
