Every year Mini teams up with some of the top fashion designers to create special one-off art cars. These are subsequently auctioned for the benefit of HIV/AIDS research and awareness. This one, however, is something different.

For this unique Mini, the BMW subsidiary brought British musician Paul Weller on board. Known as "the Modfather," Weller was part of such bands as "The Jam" and "The Style Council" before going solo. The special pink-striped Mini he designed is being auctioned online to benefit the War Child and Nordoff Robins charities. The auction has about a month left to go, with bidding currently sitting (reserve unmet) at £12,250 - just a tick shy of $20k.

Follow the jump for the full press release and check out the images in the gallery below. If you want a shot at making the Weller Mini yours, follow this link to get in on the action and place a bid.
