Mini is going all out for the London Olympics with a special Rocketman Concept.
They've taken the soberly-coloured Rocketman Concept from the 2011 Geneva motor show and tarted it up in new red, white and blue livery of the British flag.
And it doesn't stop at the duco. The glass roof gets red trim to echo the Union Jack, with matching red pinstriping on the polished black 18-in wheels.
Red and white bezels accent the air vents, speakers and door pulls, and the 3+1 (+ an extra if needed) seating layout is trimmed in blue leather.
To mark parent brand BMW's involvement in the 2012 London Olympics, The centre cubby is inscribed with figures playing that most British of games, basketball. And the door inserts are scribbled with the name of every Olympic city.
If it all sounds a bit garish, you only have to think back a few weeks to the Jubilee mugs and tea towels to realise the Rocketman doesn't stack up too badly as a rolling souvenir.
