The ultimate for young MINI fans.The kids' products in the MINI Collection 2008.

Munich. The popular small car is going full steam ahead to conquer the hearts
of all young car fans. Hence the new MINI Collection is presenting great
outfits, high-quality toys and smart fun products, which have been specially
designed for the young MINI generation, thus guaranteeing an authentic MINI
experience - even without a driving licence!

The Kids Hooded Sweater gets young MINI enthusiasts going in style. With a
purple printed picture of the "MINI front view" on the chest, raglan sleeves
and a hood with purple lining. The grey hooded sweater will delight girls and
boys alike. The diagonal slit pocket on the front adds a funky touch.

Then there is something to stun classmates: the blue Kids Shadow Tee made from
100% cotton, with a cool "Spotlight" MINI silhouette print on the chest, a
white print of the "MINI front view" on the nape of the neck and with a black
and white neck tape.

The MINI Challenge, the innovative club sports' series from MINI, appeals to
motor sports' fans worldwide. No wonder then, that young racing car sports'
fans don't want to go out without the Kids T-Shirt MINI Challenge and the Kids
Cap MINI Challenge. The large print of a "MINI Challenge Car" gives the black
round-neck T-shirt its stylish look. Part of the series features of the black
baseball cap is the white embroidered letters "MINI Challenge No.8" on the
front and the "MINI" lettering on the back. The visor can be folded to allow
the cap to be carried easily in your trouser pocket. A Velcro fastener allows
the size to be easily adjusted.

The back pocket of the yellow Furry MINI Rucksack in the MINI Cooper style
provides lots of space for all essential everyday items. Stretcher straps in
the style of a safety belt ensure the rucksack stays firmly in place on your
back.

Kids can speed easily away with the fun MINI Cooper S Pull Backs. The stylish
MINI Cooper toy cars, each with a pull back motor size 1:56, are available in
the original MINI colours yellow, chili red and laser blue.

The MINI Baby Racer gives kids ages 1-3 the unique sensation that they are
driving a real MINI. The design of the red push-power car combines high safety
and quality with a loving attention to detail: from the head and rear lights
designed like the original, up to the chili red MINI colour. The so-called
"silent tyres" ensure the car runs quietly and without leaving any marks on
parquet flooring. Learn more about the MINI Baby Racer with its specially
designed extras at www.MINI.com/shop in the section "Video Stories".

The kids' products in the MINI Collection are available on the Internet at
www.MINI.com/shop from March 2008. The new catalogue will also be available for
download in the online shop.
