Oxygen Blue Anyone??

Saw a brand new Cooper with a 6 spd manual and Oxygen Blue and Black roof. Actually looked very nice - and if you're a traditionalist - it looks like a throwback to the 60s. Anyone got a picture?

I have an oxygen blue/white MC. Here's a picture from MINI2 of an O2/Black.

The interesting thing about oxygen bue is that it looks very different depending on the lighting. However, the USA configurator is not very accurate. Here's a picture of the same O2/Black car in the shade. It looks a lot darker.

I think it's a really pretty car - too bad it's not sporty enough of a colour to make it onto an MCS.

Wow, those are the first photos I've seen of Oxy Blue/Black. I think both combos look awesome and very retro. I wouldn't say that it's "not sporty enough colour to make it onto the MCS", but I'd rather say it's much more of a fun color that would look just as cool on an MCS, but the MC has to have some exclusive colors too!
