According to
The Daily Toggle MINI has announced it has released the MINI Motoring Accessories Throwback Collection that quietly debuted at SEMA. To accomodate new MINI owners who miss prior MINI embellishments:
. . . Duncan and Poltergeist personally interviewed six or seven longtime MINI owners to find out just what features they missed from the R50, R52, and R53 MINIs. “We found out the top four interior features people missed were the center speedo, the center window toggle switches, the old mechanical key to manually start the car, and—the biggest surprise of all—the old digital clock up in the headliner near the rearview mirror.
The new accessories replace these discontinued items.
