I have seen one! parked in front of the state house on beacon hill... my exact car- w/ blck rook anf nav.
can't wait for my velvet red! if they do replace the color then it will only make the velvet redders out there more unique... but i do hope the replacement color is better than the gold. IMHO. where did this info come from?

Chrisscat and I are having our VR MINIs built within a couple days of each other during the first week of April, so the color is definitely around for three more weeks.
It is indeed beautiful, but I have heard that VR is the least popular color. The Silvers, light and dark, are most popular.
I like the strategy of rotating colors and offering new ones each year... it makes SG (and maybe VR) cars more noteworthy and keeps up interest in MINIs.
There was talk 6 to 8 months ago about a "candy blue" coming on line that was almost a Day-Glo bright robins' egg blue, but I've heard nothing recently.. could it replace VR?

The Candy Blue color has been around for a long time. There were a very few of them made pre-production. There have been a few rumors here and there since then, but most of them have just surfaced when people have found previously-unseen Candy Blue pics and posted them, thinking it was a new, possibly-upcoming color.
Personally, I think the Candy Blue is a great color for the MINI, and I hope they do finally release it. I also like the Velvet Red a lot though, so it would be a bit sad to see that one go. They really ought to just scrap that Solid Gold though, that one is just awful...

>>Saw the most popularlist on another site and we are a pretty sad lot of people when it is grey. But it is
No need to go dissing grey, dude! The silvers (both pure and dark) are classy looking cars, and they're popular for a reason.
Some might consider velvet red ("Burgundy" a boring color, but hey, to each his own!
A MINI turns heads in any color!

i think the velvet red is a really nice color :smile:
problem with rare colors seem to be if you get in an accident, its SUPER DUPER hard to match
i work for acura, and i see everyday that bodyshops we sent cars to at times (due to sales people scratching them or wahtever), they bodyshops can never match antracite and pearl white
good thing my pearl white lexus has yet to get in an accident :smile:

I've heard people say, "I saw a brown MINI, I didn't know they made a brown MINI"...
I saw my first VR at my dealership on Friday and I can see what they meant. Although it is a very likable color, under certain light, it could be mistaken for brown. Don't misunderstand...I liked it!

.....but that's the beauty of Velvet Red, it shows a multitude of colors in different light,shade,time of day, etc.
I've heard it described as brown, black, burgundy, plum, and black cherry. Very unique and more so if the rumors become true.

On the Mini2 site I saw someone posted that there will be an end to Velvet Red at the end of this month and that there will be a new light Blue and an Orange coming out to replace...
I grabbed to phone as quickly as I could to confirm that my order was in safely for the Velvet Red with White - P# 3731055 !
I am really happy with my choice - I think it's a very classy look and I am thrilled that it is going to be a rare color!
