Mini expands its line-up with the new Traveller that will be unveiled at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show and will go on sale in Europe in 2008.

Traveller will have a wheelbase probably longer than the original MINI itself and will add at least a foot to the length of the standard MINI. The driver-side has only one door, and a long uninterrupted expanse of glass between the B- and C-pillars and will be fitted with opposite-hinged rear doors.
