was thinking, this car has the charm to have its own trailer. a small light weight one, to carry luggage or bikes or whatever. the racks that are available are horribly intrusive to the car. they are screwed through the top. "please rust MINI. please?"
the prowler has it's own trailer. our car has mor echarm than that one does. what would you all think?

I think I saw some on video from a MINI gathering in England.

Custom-made certainly, but they looked quite nice in being coordinated from a styling standpoint with the original older MINI shape and design features.

I'm confident you'll see some neat ones at future European meets, where they seem to dig that sort of thing.

I had thought of this as well. It would not be hard to design one either I think I could probably do it on AutoCad and my cad skills aren't that great.

Just a small two wheel trailer would be pretty easy to design and not that hard to build as long as there were not lots of curves in it.

Just remembered, back in 82' @ MMW in Santa Barbara, I guy from San Diego made a little trailer to tow behind his Mini. On the side of the trailer, 'MINI-BAGO'.
