2012 Mini 'Inspired By Goodwood' - 10,334 Miles

KEY FACTS

• This Mini is a rare and luxurious modern hot hatch, and one of just 1,000 ‘Inspired By Goodwood’ examples produced in collaboration with Rolls-Royce.
• It is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-litre inline-four, delivering 181bhp and 177lb-ft of torque to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.
• The car has had just two registered keepers from new.
• The odometer displays a particularly low 10,334 miles from new.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Just 1,000 of the ‘Inspired By Goodwood’ limited edition were produced, of which only 119 are believed to have been delivered to the UK.
• As the name suggests, the special edition was produced in conjunction with Rolls-Royce and featured high-quality paintwork in either Diamond Black Metallic or Reef Blue, swathes of rich Connolly leather upholstery across the interior including the dashboard and door cards, burr walnut veneered inlays, lambswool carpets, a leather-trimmed boot liner, and a cashmere headliner, sun visors, and rear storage trays.
• The model was based on the Cooper S, and featured that car’s running gear.
• In line with its billing as a luxury model, it omitted the paddle shifts and bonnet scoop of the sportier Cooper S and was fitted with polished chrome exterior trim as well as clear glass.
• This example is finished in the Rolls-Royce hue of Diamond Black Metallic over a Cornsilk leather-trimmed cabin featuring a black Nappa leather dashboard top and Piano Black inlays.
• It rides on a set of 17-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, fitted with Pirelli tyres.
• Equipment includes reversing sensors, heated front seats, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, climate control, a central infotainment system with satellite navigation, a Harman/Kardon sound system, and electrically folding wing mirrors.
• Accompanying the sale is one key.

• Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
• The paintwork has reportedly recently been corrected, a ceramic coating has been applied, and the exterior and interior have been detailed.
• The most recent MOT test was conducted on 16 April 2026 at 10,334 miles, resulting in a first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The car was reportedly last serviced in October 2023 at 8,531 miles by Mini Park Royal, who replaced the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and spark plugs.
• Prior to this, the seller states that Mini Park Royal carried out a brake fluid service in October 2022 at 7,059 miles, and a service in September 2021 at 5,356 miles.

SUMMARY

The ‘Inspired By Goodwood’ special-edition Mini was created in partnership with famed British car maker Rolls-Royce and featured a wonderfully opulent cabin with high-end touches such as a cashmere headliner, Connolly leather, burr walnut veneers, and lambswool carpets. Showing particularly low mileage on the odometer, this example would make an interesting addition to any Rolls-Royce or Mini collection as well as a comfortable and luxurious daily driver for the style-conscious commuter.
