Funny because I have the only CR/W in town. Granted it has stripes and the Union Jack on the roof. Didn't seem to look right without it.

The most common here is BRG/W EB/W and Silver/B

we also have a silk gren one.

For example at the last meet we had, there were three pure silvers out of 28 Minis and only two of them were pure silver/black (the third was solid pure silver).

My new "not yet here" is BRG/White... but my personal favorite is Velvet/Black... with Black stripes w/white edge... would have ordered it had it not been deleted.

drive his.

"and he doesn't drive his"

Been thinking about how many MINIs are out there in storage. The much heralded original product launch had to have some with money buying them just to store. And then, there's the hobbyists that mod, but put no miles on their cars.

Then there's those of us who just love driving 'em. (33k miles)

God speed.

Velvet Red is extremely rare around South Florida. Ditto for Pepper White. Most meets we have gone to, we are the only ones with a PW/B Cooper
Silk Green is another commodity.

CR seems to outnumber most every other color but it is gorgeous and it is very MINI.
