Mini India has officially opened pre-bookings for the Mini Cooper Oxford Edition, a striking new limited-run variant that celebrates the brand’s historic roots in Oxford, UK. Based on the Cooper ‘S’ guise, this special hatchback combines familiar performance with a heavy dose of British-themed design cues.
