Wow, that is a truely stunning Tahiti Blue Cooper Sport.

I run the Cooper Sport 500 register and 2000 mini register in the UK, and would be very interested to learn more about these so called BMW press cars.

Over on my 2000miniregister.com website I have a page dedicated to Rover & John Cooper Garages press cars, but I was not even aware of these Cooper Sport press cars.

I keep a register of all the 2000 made minis, and know these press cars are not currently in it.

Not that your one can make it, but I am hoping to arrange a display of press cars at the Gaydon Museum mini day in 2013 as part of the register displays.

I'd be grateful if you would contact me on my register email address minicoopersport500@yahoo.co.uk to have a further chat about this car.

Regards

I absolutly love the Mini. Awesome color. Good luck.

 

The region letters FC on these Mini's UK 'OFC' registration plates indicates they are all Oxford registered which of course is where the BMW MINI Plant is situated at Cowley, Oxford. I would keep the stickers they are all part of its history as a BMW press car and will add to its future interest and originalty.
