Okay. Here are this year's annual pics of my Velvet Red R50 just to keep this thread alive and representing. It's the middle if the car's 11th summer. 130,000 miles at this point. (Still a daily/year-round New England driver)

Maybe not the best pictures. It wasn't totally detailed when I took them The black skirting is untreated for instance) and the headlights aren't really whited out like that; it's the sunlight Maybe I'll get some shady shots and share them soon. Just wanted to have my annual VR owner check-in.

Bit late to the party...

Hi, I’m here in 2021, not sure if this thread is still alive?!
I’ve got a velvet red mini one, she’s still going just about, i’ve had her 3 years.
Wanted to find out more!


have seen the colour was only available a hear and i’ve seen someone said it was exclusive to the cooper? My car is definitely a mini one though?

would love to know more!
