Three New Rooftop Flag Options for MINI
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, November 4, 2002 ... While sales of the actual cars
are going from strength to strength, there is one area where MINI can be said
to be 'flagging' (pun intended) - in its accessory range. Following the
storming success of the Union Jack and Stars 'n' Stripes roof decals, MINI has
announced the addition of three new flags to the range - the Canadian flag, the
Scottish Cross of St Andrew and the English Cross of St George.
So, if you are a Proud Canadian, a True Braveheart or even an English Rose,
there is now a MINI flag for you. Including the checkerboard design, the three
new additions bring the number of flags in the MINI range up to six.
Jack Pitney, general manager of MINI USA said: "MINI owners tell us how much
they enjoy personalizing their cars. We are happy to give the patriotic and
partisan another way to individualize their MINI."
The decals are made for white-roof cars and are made from durable vinyl that
can be removed without damage to the roof paintwork. Each roof graphic has an
MSRP of $180 excluding labor.
Editors - MINI is always open to ideas, so what other flags should we consider
- a Skull and Crossbones design maybe for the Piratical out there?
