Mini Piccadilly - June 1986

The third installment of the 'London Collection' themed Limited Edition Mini's was the Mini Piccadilly. After the subtle conservatism of the Mini Chelsea, the Mini Piccadilly although discreet, reinstated Limited Edition Mini's as something more special. Contrasting against the Cashmere Gold paint a simple, single Sable coachline ran around the body, with Sable 'Piccadilly' logo's featured in the usual places on the rear side panels and bootlid. Unlike the Mini Chelsea however, chrome external trim was back - on the bumpers, door furniture and an exhaust trim. Chrome framed opening rear side windows, 12" steel wheels with full diameter silver plastic trims and a chrome locking petrol cap completed the exterior.

Inside the car its distinctive look was highlighted by stripy upholstery in rich Claret (red), Chocolate and Coffee colours, with the 'Piccadilly' autograph appearing on the front seats. Completing the interior was a factory fitted push-button radio.
