So I have only found two members with Gold Mini's....

I am trying to find some pics of the Gold MINI's, Modified MINI's or not.

I have never seen one in person so i was hopeing to see a few pics before I get to serious into buying one.

Link to thread about My possible purchase (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...63#post1312163)

Any pics would be great.. and this is not a battle on wich MINI color is the best.

Thanks in advance.

 

My old Solid Gold. The only reason I got rid of her is I wanted to try a S model. So far I have my regrets.

 

Were the stripes on the Hood as well?

 

Yes, I had stripes on the front too. This is an older picture. If you look in the corner, you can see my old '73 Austin, another regretful sale.

 

Regrets about selling or getting a S?

 

Selling.

 

how difficult was the S gas cap conversion?

 

[I am curious as to why you regret selling your Gold MC?

By the way, I think Gold was a very nice color and looked great on MC cabrios too.

 

It isn't very diffcult, but it does require some tinkering to adapt the chrome gas cap. If you do a search here or in www.mini2.com there are old DIY articles with photos as to how to get it done.

 

I saw a solid gold cooper on a lot in Fort Walton when I was down visiting my mother at Christmas time. Was that yours? I can't see the picture you apparently posted...this car looked lowered and had aftermarket wheels.

 

I saw one here in Rockford, IL and it was being driven by some teenager, and yes you guessed it.......NO WAVE

 

I love the gold minis. I wouldn't want them, but I think they're fantastic. There's actually one for sale around here too.

 

I like Gold MINI's, but the one I pass a couple of times a week must not like Hyper Blue. They won't wave back, all I get is a strange look.

 

We have two of them that I know of in our club here in Phx and they look GREAT. I say go for it!

 

Yes they do!!!

 

Well, now that I'm home, and can see the pictures, yes, that is the car that I saw sitting on 98 in Fort Walton.

I like the wheels, not so sure about the taillights.

 

Yes, that's her. They totally stripped her of the decals, to include the stripes. And as of this posting, I believe she is still sitting there. They want $19,500 for her !!! I think that's cool that you actually saw it sitting there. What a small world we live in.

As for other people's questions on why I regret getting rid of the Gold one. It's because it was different. Plus I had given it a lot of personality, but at the same time I do like the added power of the S.

 

See how good a gold can look?
It shines in the light!


B & B exhaust, CAI, H & R springs, chrome 5 spoke MINI wheels.

 

 

I hadn't made up my mind to get another MINI when I was down there, I actually stopped at the lot and checked it out a little bit, but managed to get going again before the sales guy came out.

My mother lives in Holly By The Sea, btw. We get down there once or twice a year at least.

 

We thought folks would buy tons of these cars.....guess not

 

i had a gti glx vr6 that color, i loved it and on a mini it looks even better!

 

Found another old photo:



Name that street

 

the gold MINIs look very cool to me

 

I'm glad you steered clear of it. Some how or another they put a nice dent in the boot. I racked up 54,000 virtually trouble free miles on it, but i think $19,500 is a little too much, especially since it had a lot of modifications on it.

I used to live in Holley By The Sea on Byers Court. Now I live wayyyyy up Hwy 87.
