Note the lovely spray-on vinyl roof. Also came with a sporty steering wheel, and the worst hubcaps ever.

Hmm, I wonder which LEs came first. This is mine, a New Zealand LE from 1977/78.

Definitely the 1100 special. My life would just be complete with a vinyl roof and a centre console.

I agree with the op. The Designer is highly desirable and, like the Paul Smith, which is also very desirable, was styled by a seriously important designer. I refer of course to Mary Quant. Most of the specials were just done by the marketing people. I also agree with mk1leg, extremely desirable as they are, Coopers and Cooper S models were not special edition or LE.

Paul Smith is tops for me followed by a 1275GT although not really an LE, and really like the 1100 Specials and Designers too.

Mini Ritz Year: 1985 (January)

Silver Leaf Metallic (MME - BLVC421)
Exterior trim: Chrome, black-centered grille

Interior: Claret Red, Prussian Blue and Osprey Grey velvet

I'd say that's a special edition. Each to their own isn't it
