Me neither

Every time I’ve been in the toy section shopping with my son for Christmas I’ve kept my eye out for one too - still have not seen one.

The only purple toy MINI I've seen is the Urban Metalz which I've only found at KMarts.
It's a pretty modded MINI, slammed and such, but still definately a MINI.

I have a spare if you can't find one.

Yes, that's the one. Being colour-blind, I wasn't even sure it WAS purple until my wife confirmed it.

has a cabrio in "blackeyed purple". I've forgotten... ..is that the same as your purple haze?

This was the only place I was able to find a diecast version of my velvet red beauty. The minichamps models are not cheap but they are incredibly detailed.

Thank you so much! Blackeyed purple is the same as purple haze. I wish it was not a convertible but am very excited just the same! I hope to get one and keep an eye on that site! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit: please EVERYONE start PMing YuccaPatrol to convince him I need this..............
(he has an extensive MINI model collection-I just have more expensive tastes)

So far, these are what I find:

Also, I'm a stained glass artist and I made JIMI in stained glass.

The picture really doesn't do it justice.

I'm hopefully going to be joining the Purple Haze crowd soon. I'll be on the lookout for PH models to join my slew of CR ones.

Though, I'm still looking for a PH cabrio in a larger scale.

We did find one really fun little purple MINI that came from Hong Kong off of ebay. It is really cute and I think it might be a "penny racer" since it has a little slot on the back. Were the penny racers supposed to pop a wheelie when carrying a coin? this one doesn't do it with a penny though. . . .

This is a 1:18 Kyosho diecast, available for about $50. The scale18.com site is a very good place to buy one. The model looks blue in the picture, and I haven't seen one in person, so you may want to ask the shop owner, Kevin, to verify the color before shipping. Good luck.

Thanks GTS! I knew they must have one. I've got the same model in Royal Gray that I won at the Phil Wicks driving school in Nashville. They sent it to me for being named "most improved driver". It's just not PH!!! And it's not an S. It's the most detailed model I've seen.

Important update to my previous message about 1:18 Kyosho. The same model will be available as a MCSc version in early 2006. This one will not be as widely available - sold only through MINI dealers. The part number will be:
80 43 0 391 980 : MINI COOPER S CABRIO : BLACK EYE PURPLE

Two other colors are available sooner (mayber already).
80 43 0 391 978 : MINI COOPER S CABRIO : HYPER BLUE
80 43 0 391 979 : MINI COOPER S CABRIO : DARK SILVER
