Owned by the singer-songwriter Jay Kay, the lead singer of the jazz-funk band Jamiroquai, since 2008, this “Mini with a twist” is nicknamed ‘Chuckles’ and features a disco light, velvet curtains and bespoke red leather seats.
The best part of the car, however, is to be found in the boot. It has been converted into a drinker’s paradise with the provision of a full mini bar.
Silverstone Auctions offer the car – which has 16,000 miles on the clock – with no reserve.

Such a fun interpretation. Love it.
So camp…no wonder it appeals to Eric
Mine’s a vodka if anyone is making. Don’t be stingy with it either.
Brilliantly designed.
