Rock icon, Paul Weller, gave quite a performance during MINI?s 50th birthday celebration at Silverstone a year ago and the British automaker is paying the rock star in kind by giving him the opportunity to design his own special edition Mini Cooper. The car, which was designed by Weller himself and built in Oxford where it was hand-painted by MINI craftsmen, was sold in a global online auction from November 11th to December 10th with all proceeds to be given to two charities, Nordoff Robins and War Child.
?I?ve decided to donate the car to two charities,? Weller said. ?War Child is an amazing organization which works tirelessly to provide protection for kids who live in some of the world?s most dangerous places ? Iraq, Afghanistan, Uganda and DRC. Nordoff Robbins is the charity that really uses music to transform the lives of kids and adults fundraising to help and support these vulnerable people.?
