Special Minis:

I thought it time I post on all the Minis that I have been seeing over here in Europe. Its funny seeing the "special edition" Minis, they are rare, but they do exist in Europe!

Lots of Mini 'special editions' were released in the 80's. The changes were generally limited to different trim and badging, and maybe a novel paint color.

First up, the Jet Black:



and its interior:



This one lives on our road.

Its a little faded, but looks in nice condition. Everything here is right left drive too!

The "Racing Green". This was in France, where the parking is done by touch - every mini has these ugly overriders.

An "S" wagon - pity about the poo color.

And a nice S with some trick alloys.

Hey Tim

What do you think of the new Clubman? I think it is very rad, even in poo-brown.

Looks like things are going well for you kids in the 'dam. Nice.

Cheers,

Yo clint; yep I even like the poo brown!1 The supercharger, suicide door (only 1) and leather interior make the sparkling poo color OK.

If i was picking I'd go grey or black.
