Limited to 300 Units



The "MINI Crossover Norfolk Edition" is the result of a collaboration between MINI and designer Satoshi Yamane, centered around the theme of "travel." Yamane is known for drawing inspiration from his travels to various countries each season, immersing himself in their cultures. This collaboration culminates in a limited edition named after Norfolk, a region in eastern England renowned for its beautiful coastline.

In addition to his role as designer for his own brand "F/CE.," Yamane is also active as the bassist for the band "toe." He is recognized for his diverse career, including his involvement in establishing the Crocs Japan branch from 2003 to 2007.

MINI and Yamane collaborated on the design of original parts. Reflecting the "travel" concept, the bonnet features exclusive asymmetrical stripes dynamically designed to represent the path of a traveler. The left and right quarter pillars on the tailgate are adorned with exclusive name badges inspired by street signs that guide travelers. These design elements, based on the diesel model "Cooper D ALL4," create a uniquely special feel.
