I wonder what color this MINI was originally??? Now it's just... ugly.
I'm sad to say that it hails from my home city of Houston.

That color may be ugly, but at the present, i believe that could be THE fastest mini around. M3 engine in a lil car like that, gotta love it

I don't know what color it started out as, but I'm pretty sure it came with a white roof

Electric Blue - All the racing MINI's seem to be because it's the fastest colour.

That looks like possibly another version of the Qvick Motors M3-engine MINI. Where did you find that pic, and are there any more to showcase? Looks like a killer MINI. I like it.
Cheers,

I'm seeing hints of Dark silver/White
See the DS at the door as a stripe around the greens??
Maybe I'm just dizzy looking at it.

Replying to my own quote here, but whatever.
Found more pics of that car and others on Qvick Motors' website. http://www.qvickmotors.com.
If I ever get 6 winning numbers and a substancial enough winning pot, that'll be a project car that'll be built for sure. That thing's gotta haul.
Cheerio,

I got it from a local Houston BMW forum that I stumbled upon, looking up totally non-MINI related things, funny enough. I don't doubt that it's a speedy little thing. It's just ugly as sin and my first thought was, what color WAS that?
