It looks to be a Red Bull mini. They make a bunch of these at the body shop near my work, so I see them all the time.

De-commissioned Red Bull MINIs , most if not all " justa cooper models " with automatic transmissions. Some even have the cooler still in the back and mount removed and turned into a truck, with a truck bed. Stock from red bull they have the R52 Convertible rear hatch for the R50. And the R57 Convertible hatch for the R56 models, which are most of the new ones running around. Most of them have a small sunroof.

Nice to see them still in use.

That's amazing, thanks guys. Thought I missed something...

MINI should DEFINITELY make a truck! A Cooper S truck would be the SHIZZLE!!

Somebody had a used one for sale a couple months ago in the Chicago area; back end was described as a "big cooler". Saw a newer one still in Red Bull livery last week in Naperville.

Since they make the Red Bull trucks near you, do you know where they sell the used ones?
