After traveling the country, the Penguin Anniversary-mobile is now for sale.

The Mini Cooper covered in logos celebrating the publisher’s 75th anniversary (complete with 15,750 miles and signatures from 18 authors) will be sold to raise money for the New York Public Library. In the BEA video embedded above, we found out more about the storied vehicle.

Here’s more from Penguin: “The vehicle is now for sale on AutoTrader.com with a Private Seller advertisement for $30,000.  The price reflects the unique nature of the vehicle, its excellent condition and an additional bonus: the car comes with the top 75 titles published by Penguin Books over the past 75 years, a collection of books worth about $1,200.  Proceeds from the sale of the car will be donated to the New York Public Library.”
