The Mini has seen many styling and tuning trends in its 50 years, but the big fashion at the moment is what tends to get called ‘retro’, trying to recreate the looks of the 1960s and ’70s. Think MkI grilles and tail-lights, classic bucket seats, and sexiest of all, 10-inch wheels. This month several of the best suppliers in the Mini scene have agreed to pool their resources and offer this great collection of accessories, with a total prize value of more than £1200 — helping you get the retro Mini look.
