Ah, the Mini Bentley—sounds like a cheeky mashup between a pint-sized British icon and a posh luxury cruiser. If you're asking about a Bentley version of the Mini Cooper, well, sadly, that’s a fantasy for now. Bentley, the grandmaster of bespoke luxury, hasn't shrunk their lineup to toy car size. However, if you meant a Bentley that's compact or a Mini Cooper that's been tricked out Bentley-style, the closest you get is a heavily customised Mini with luxury trims or a Bentley Continental GT, which is a full-size grand tourer.

For Bentley buyers Down Under, new models start around $300,000 AUD and can skyrocket depending on options. Used Bentleys might be found on Tradingpost or CarShowroom for roughly half that price, if you’re lucky. As for the Mini Cooper, they’re a sprightly and affordable alternative, starting new around $30,000 AUD. So, unless you’re dreaming of a toy car that’s posher than your neighbour’s Rolls, stick to what’s real.
