Here is our now 4 year old solid gold Cooper. We thought billions would be sold - wrong!

 

Jet Black! I miss Indi Blue too.

 

Wow I love the velvet red!!! Still wish they used that colour!! More Pics!?!?!

 

I love this photo.

 

Indi Blue almost going on 5 years.

 

Indi Blue and Hyper blue

 

Liquid Yellow of course....you dont see many of them around anymore...mine is the bumblebee...LY/B in the process of dechroming...i think if i ever got a R56 i would spend the money and have the paint stripped and repainted LY! LOL

 

Me having a little fun in my sister's Solid Gold 04

Those are my wheels and tires, so that is how she let me autocross it, becuase it didnt eat up her street tires...lol

 

Purple Haze/Black - glad I got it when I did...it was only available with a black roof for a few months. After that, it was only silver or white roof.

 

this is an awesome thread! thanks for sharing all the pics. i've got a real soft spot for the purple haze

 

I know Astro Black is still "in", but an Astro Black Checkmate with a silver roof? ... and it is another "effect" color, with those sparkly blue flecks in the paint it goes from dark metallic blue to black... I like it.

 

I see the boot of a silk green MINI with what appears to be the aerokit sitting in a garage by my home.....sadly, I've never seen it move MINIs should never be hanger queens....

On the brighter side of things ! Here's Wensleydale in her "space blue cheese and silver"






Bet you can't tell I love my car huh ?


Cheers !

Mike

 

Silk Green and Gold are two colors I dont think I have ever seen in person. That green is really cool.

 

Another opportunity for a gratuitous pic of my EB/W...

 

Here is our 03 LY/b MCS posing with someone famous.

MY MINI IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!! It is Solid Gold, my brother was racing in it a few posts ago! im a good sister!! Anyway, The gold mini is the best retired color to me....NO one else has that color around here!!!

 

Here's my SR/S during Week 1 of ownership:

 

I really liked the solar red...that one was definately short lived.

I actually wanted solar red stripes for my car but couldn't find any vinyl in that color so I ended up with chili red. If I ever have my stripes painted on, I am going to try to match the solar red.

 

Another Royal Grey.....

 

Awesome thread!

There is one color still missing folks!

Guess which one it is!

 

Anyone? C'mmon MINIphiles!

 

Rootbeer!!!!!

 

OK, the missing color in this thread was called....

COSMOS BLACK!





It was Jet Black but metallic. It was first offered in 2002 and I believe it was discontinued at the end of the '03 model year. It was a Cooper only color, never offered in the S.

Not many were sold, but there are out there!

 

My favorite MINI Blue!

I really wished they had Indi Blue in 07.... Lightning Blue was the closest to it, so I went with that :D

 

Mmm, I love my Jet Black MCS... as dirty as it is!


And while I'm at it, I'll post this pic around as much as possible


Although now seeing all these other colors, it's a shame some of them had to go. Like that Velvet Red, schnikeys!
