Special edition mini automatics made

[minithirtyauto]

It would interesting to find out how many different special edition mini automatics were made?

Does anyone have a list?!

To get us started I know they made 200 mini thirty auto's and if my memory is correct, most of them where in black - does anyone know if i'm right?

Wonder what other special editions were there that came from the factory?

I have seen a Auto Paul Smith Mini , but I have no idea how many were produced

Ive seen a couple of Tahiti Autos on Ebay in the past and my friend who has a Bodyshop had a Manual Rio in which used to be an Auto

I have a theory
There were the LE,s that were available Automatic like the 30
And
Other that stated they were only available as Manuals were most probably "Special Order"?

Lets face it when the vast majority of LE,s were available the Auto Transmission was still in production

I cant see a dealer turning down business so I'm guessing they would get on the phone to longbridge and request an automatic

So if they were never Officially available as an Auto those particular LE,s must be the rarest autos available

So of the LE,s could of possibly only ever had One or Two Autos Produced

I agree with your theory, so come on everyone, who out there owns the really rare editions that were special order?

Or maybe you know someone who bought a special edition new and they requested an automatic to order?

Lets see if we can find the most interesting/rarest edition out there, maybe with a story attached?
