Nice wallet mate!

I've added a photo of the original Paul Smith Mini and a photo of the limited edition Paul Smith Mini by Rover in 1998.

Yes , the Rover limited edition was a real cop-out compared to the one done by Paul Smith .... Still desirable though but surely they could have done a bit more on the paint side .

The blue colour was reputed to have been the same colour of the shirt Paul Smith was wearing that day. And don't forget it has a green petrol tank to match the colour of the British Iles badge on the front. It was during the height of the "Cool Britannia" advertising campaign.

They cost £120 new from shops if you can find them, but ebay you can get them from £30 pounds upwards, i paid £30 for mine. There are heaps of cool Paul Smith mini gear but some of it just costs an arm and a leg.
Love the Paul smith limited edition mini too, that blue is such a great colour, it actually looks purple, and especially with the rocker cover and petrol tank in lime green. Yeah interior is a bit boring tho.
There are a few different Paul Smith pics too, one in a mansion, one down southend, ina paddock etc etc
