Mini is celebrating International Women’s Day with a new Pat Moss Edition pack for 2023 Mini Cooper. Moss was the first driver to win an international rally behind the wheel of a car wearing a Mini badge as she took first place in the Tulip Race – from Noordwijk in the Netherlands to France Riviera and back – in 1962.
“This special edition not only celebrates the launch of MINItheir extraordinary sports career, but it also marks a pioneering achievement for women in sports car racing“Mini said in its announcement.” Success in the Netherlands has turned the classic Mini, Pat Moss and her co-driver Ann Wisdom into enduring heroines in a discipline dominated by both significantly larger cars and teams. male driver. “
Moss is Stirling Moss’s sister; She passed away in 2008.
This look pack includes Pat Moss’s signature decal on the front bumper (where Moss originally signed the car after one of the race wins) and dash, stylized tulips integrated into the trims. side markers, door sill plates, steering wheel and wheel hub covers, detailed Tulip Rally course fender decals and a decal on the hood commemorating the race winner’s original registration number.
To the left of the wheel, there’s another decal on the dash, which at first glance may seem like a stylized fence, but it’s really meant to look like pistons moving up and down, aligned. arranged like the letters “M” and “W” for “Moss” and “Wisdom.”
Globally, Mini will offer the Pat Moss version on Cooper WILL 2-door hardtop, Cooper S 4-door hardtop and John Cooper Works Hardtop, but only JCW will be an option for US customers. We’ve been told pricing will be available closer to launch, but the Pat Moss edition is limited to just 800 pieces worldwide, and since it’s based on JCW’s existing Iconic trim, starts at around $40,000, it won’t be cheap.
