Castle on wheels
Do you want to live like a god in France but can't afford that castle in the Provence? Then maybe Aznom's latest creation, the MINI Chateau, will bring the solution for you. The MINI Chateau is based on the MINI Clubman S, made its world debut at the recent Top Marques show in Monaco, will be limited to just 12 units and radiates exclusivity and luxury with its wood trims and miniature, shock absorbant wine cellar (room for 6 bottles and chalices) in the trunk.
The MINI Chateau is painted in pearly-changeable brown matched with sandy/gold metallic paint for the roof, bumpers and some details. But what really stands out is the use of precious wood, both on the inside and outside of the car. Inside Aznom fitted the upholstery with gaucho leather and Alcantara to create a warm, vintage atmosphere.
The car rides on 18 inch TSW 'Pace' alloy wheels wrapped in 205/40 Yokohama S-Drive rubber. The 12 Aznom MINI Chateau's will have the owners name printed on the numbered label.

Pleasure, Emotion, Pragmatism, Elegance.
These are the basic items of the new interpretation of the Mini Clubman signed Aznom. Worthy heired of the legendary Mini Sassicaia dedicated to the most famous wine in the world, sold in 12 exclusives specimen so the new Mini Chateau is born, a Mini that, thanks to its name evokes the elegance of the world of the Grands Chateaux; for this reason in its car trunk has found place a 6 bottles (and chalices) wine-cellar completely caulked and shock absorbent; built up with the same wood and leather selected for the car.
Concerning the inner features, the match of aged / gaucho leather and Alcantara creates a warm vintage atmosphere that embraces the passengers in a special trip of elegance, emotion and tradition. In order to make this car version really special, we chose to couple a more “classic” style leather with an unconventional / eccentric old-looking one.
Regarding the car body, the exterior paint pearly-changeable brown has been matched with a sandy/gold metallic paint selected for the top, for part of bumpers and other details shaping up the whole car style creating an ideally separation between top and body, mostly thanks to the wide side windows that lightens the top part of the car. The really distinguishing element is the precious wood used internally and externally.
Inside (glossy finished) for some details of dashboard and doors. Outside (mat and weather resistant finished) for the top part of back bumper, head lamps frame, underlining so the back doors, emblematic element, typical of the Mini Clubman version. So, we wish in this way to dedicate to the legendary Mini Clubman a really brand-new interpretation, worthy of being its modern heiress.
The chose alloy wheels TSW “Pace” are elegant and sporty same time, and thanks to the generous dimensions of 18” equipped with 205/40 tyres Yokohama S-Drive has been put a stress on the peculiar dynamic vocation that all along distinguishes the Mini style.
The Mini Chateaux will be realized in a limited edition of sole 12 really exclusive samples characterized by numbered labels completed with the name of the lucky owners.
