I haven’t been around as much, changed careers, moved to a new town, etc. But we still love our MINIs as much as ever. Anyway I was driving back to Atlanta to visit my daughter and stopped at a light. Across the way on the opposite side of a 6 lane road I spotted a MINI in a color I’d never seen. It was a Gen 3 I think. The color was kind of a plum, raspberry metallic. I tried to take a pic, but the light changed and they were gone. I went online to the MINIUSA site but don’t see the color. So if it is a factory color it’s not a current option that I could find. It didn’t look like anything else was added to the car, which usually if I see a custom paint color I notice other custom touches. Does this sound like an actual MINI color?

 

Hi BoCRon,

The F Series MINI Clubman came in a color named Pure Burgundy Metallic. I believe this color has been retired by BMW/MINI.
If that's not the color maybe its a custom paint job or wrap?

Congrats on the career and new town : )

Thanks! I’ll go look that up. It may have been a clubman. I only caught a glimpse of the car in bits as it was mixed in between other cars turning left.

 

Coral red?
