Life Ball Mini is not just a glitzy car, but is something that each year draws plenty of attention and money towards a good cause. In 2008, MINI will once again be supporting the Life Ball – for the eighth time in a row. This, the largest AIDS charity event in Europe, is the ideal platform for MINI to underline its socio-political commitment. In line with the required concepts, the Agent Provocateur lingerie label will be designing the Life Ball MINI 2008. The new MINI Cooper Clubman has been selected as the basis for this exclusive, unique design.

Agent Provocateur, founded by Serena Rees and her husband Joseph Corre, son of fashion creator Vivienne Westwood, is famous for its wickedly burlesque collections. After the Life Ball, the unique MINI will be auctioned on eBay (www.ebay.at) worldwide from 5-15 June. As in every year, the proceeds will be donated to Life Ball. The Life Ball Mini for this year is going to come in the form of a cool cop car that is painted black, with typical contrasting pink stripe highlights, and featuring the Agent Provocateur logo. The roof will be covered with a stylized fishnet stocking pattern, crowned by a flashing blue police light.

The rear window is reflective, and the windows of the split door at the rear of the vehicle are covered with prison bars. Inside the MINI Clubman, a playground in black leather has been created, with various details designed to stimulate the viewer’s imagination, The MINI is all set to once again steal the show and spread the message when the occasion arrives. So if you have the kind of cash to bid for it, then just go for it. Moreover, it could give you tax deductions too!
