Paul Weller Designs MINI Cooper For Charity Auction

By Tim Cashmere
Sat, 13 Nov 2010 13:55:50 +1100

A special limited edition MINI Cooper that has been personalised by Paul Weller is being auctioned off for charity.

Weller designed the car based on a shirt he designed for English fashion label Ben Sherman. It features brown and pink stripes running the length of the car. 

On top of the exterior design by Weller himself, the car has £4,000 of extras including alloy wheels and bi-xenon headlights, bringing the total value of the car up to £18,000.

The car has a 1600cc engine that will take you from 0 - 62 m/h (100km/h) in 9.1 seconds and will have the world whizzing past you at at maximum of 127 m/h (204 km/h).

Proceeds from the car will go to Nordoff Robbins - a charity that helps people with disabilities to revitalise their life through music, and War Child - a charity that helps children whose homes have been ravaged by war.

At the time of writing the auction had 23 bids, with the latest being £12,250. You have until December 11 to decide whether you want to fork out the cash.

For more information, or to make a bid, head to http://www.paulwellerminiauction.com/.
