“Iconic design is part of the Mini DNA, Mini has always been much more than just a car brand – it’s a community and a lifestyle. Since 1959, the global Mini brand has partnered with creatives to explore new and different ideas. The A3E programme allows us to embrace a range of young South African artists in the creation of their own visual identities, just as Mini has been doing for 60 years.” Thilosh Moodally, Head of Mini South Africa.
