<strong> <strong><br /></strong></strong>People love to imagine bigger and better things for the <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/01/26/times-of-london-looks-at-half-a-century-of-the-frugal-mini/">long-running MINI</a>. Whether it's a new <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/05/18/rendered-speculation-mini-speedster-chop-the-windshield-drop/">Speedster</a> version or a revived <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/12/09/rendered-speculation-could-mini-revive-the-moke/">MINI Moke</a>, the platform inspires daydreaming. Apparently, it aspires, too, to a more pimped-out existence. Rumors of a Rolls Royce-branded MINI have been floating around recently, stoked most recently by a series of pictures taken recently at London's famous Park Lane MINI dealership. Sadly, this is not a production Rolls-Royce MINI. Instead, this is a MINI made for "a recent dealer event," and a MINI spokesperson told <a href="http://theswitchback.com/news/no-current-plans-for-rolls-royce-mini-release">theSwitchback</a> that a MINI Rolls has not yet been approved for production. Sorry. Still, anyone who's going to do any speculation about the MINI/Rolls-Royce collaboration could use this car as inspiration: it's got magnolia-colored leather practically everywhere, including the roof lining and the air vent bezels. Everything else is covered in walnut wood and glossy piano-black trim. It may not be a production preview, but it sure is a pretty MINI.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/rolls-mini-for-park-lane/">Rolls MINI for Park Lane</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/rolls-mini-for-park-lane/2063002/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/scan0012b_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/rolls-mini-for-park-lane/2063001/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/scan0008_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/rolls-mini-for-park-lane/2063000/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/scan0004_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/rolls-mini-for-park-lane/2062999/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/scan0002_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.totalmini.com/forum/9-general-discussion/3244-44k-4.html">Total MINI</a> via <a href="http://www.motoringfile.com/2009/06/03/rolls-royce-mini-not-really-planned/">MotoringFile</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/06/spy-shots-rolls-royce-mini-one-off/">Spy Shots: Rolls-Royce MINI one-off </a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:07:00 EST.
