Mini Bar

Mini2

Here's the scoop on this Mini:

Italian coachbuilder Aznom used the recent Top Marques Monaco event to unveil its new ‘Chateau’ hatch based on the new Mini Clubman S. The custom Mini will be produced in a limited run of just 12 examples and will keep the elegant wood trim and shockproof wine cellar (capable of holding six bottles) of the concept model.

The MINI Chateau is based on the MINI Clubman S, made its world debut at the recent Top Marques show in Monaco, will be limited to just 12 units and radiates exclusivity and luxury with its wood trims and miniature, shock absorbant wine cellar (room for 6 bottles and chalices) in the trunk.

znom’s customization of the Clubman highlights the car’s distinctive attitude. Nicknamed the Chateau – the wine inspired design has many details. From the wood trim to the shock-absorbent wine cellar in the trunk – this isn’t your typical MINI Clubman S.

The thing that really gets me - beyond the tricked out trunk - are these mirrors. They look like coconuts, don't they?I still don't need a Mini myself. But you oenophiles out there may have just foud your next ride.

What the beautiful people are saying...

That is like the COOLEST Mini!! What a great find Franki!

I am utterly in love! You have no idea how many times I've needed to transport several bottles and been reduced to the very unchic method of a wine box.

I'm on my third Mini. It's the most fun car I've ever driven, but this one is amazing!

Love the Mini Chateau!! It's a shame they are making so few of them. I would definitely get one. It's old fashion and luxe and just adorable.

A mini tricked out to transport my favorite beverage! Fantastic!

You know, I test drove one of these a couple weeks ago and it handled beautifully. Of course, since then, I've seen at least one Cooper nearly every day. Love 'em.

Something to say, gorgeous?
