2004 Mickey Mouse MINI for sale

Check out this Mini Cooper Mickey Mouse that i won from Disney. I am selling it on E-bay because it is not practicle to keep as i have a big family. The ad explains it all. This car was designed and built for Walt Disney Inc. and used at the California parks and hotels and is a one of a kind car.

Perfect for Halloween..

I saw your ebay auction, I was just at disneyworld on my Cali trip. I am surprised Disney would not buy it back for Corp. events.

I'm confused. Is that a Mickey MINI or a Minnie MINI?

I guess Mickey

because it does not have a bow, and its red/black/yellow. MINI Minnie would be something else.
I wonder if you buy this would it come with a season pass or the chance to drive it into downtown disney parks .

When I saw the pics I had to post this.

how about picking up a client with this MINI .. maybe a really conservative lawyer

Maybe the guy instead of selling should rent it for events and parties !!

Is it just me, or does it look like those ears would launch at anything approaching highway speeds?

That's why the auction says that ears have to come off for anything over35 MPH.

Yes you do get some wierd looks when you are driving it without the ears on it but after a while everybody gets to know what it is, also it helped that a local paper took a picture of it in a parking lot with the ears on it now everyone knows what it is. As a rule when people see it with the ears on they all think it is cool. I mean who doesn't, or didn't, like Mickey Mouse!
Thanks for spreading the word!

Talk about an anti-theft device! Atleast you know nobody would steal it! Pretty easy to spot a red mini with gigantic ears speeding down the street. :D

And they'd have to stop to take the ears off if they wanted to 'speed off' at anything over 35mph.
Bump.

Are you sure Disney wouldn't want to purchase it back? Normally they're very protective of their trade mark.

Time to scope out the ad on ebay...

No they passed on buying it back i offered it to them first. as far as the wheels go they are painted to match Mickeys shoes which are yellow, but i don't get the mirrors myself because i would think they should be white to match his gloves but thats the way they designed it. The two white "buttons on the hood are supposed to be the buttons on his shorts.

Funny, I was thinking the mirror covers matched his gloves. Guess you could swap 'em out for white, and draw the gloves on 'em. Then again, I guess he'd look like Dorf.

I really thought disney would want this. Those are one of a kind hollies being yellow and the mirrior caps. They should both be white. They were before painting.
Your welcome for spreading the word. Funny i saw the ebay auction first then search on NAM to see if anyone knew about it, then i saw the post.

I'm sure some designer had a valid reason for the color combination. It'd be nice if it came with a Disney soundtrack and Mickey head.
