Talking The Green Buffalo

It's been well established that the rarest color for the R58 is Laguna Green. If anyone owns an R58 in Laguna Green aka "The Green Buffalo", please post some images here. It's one of my favorite colors on the MINI Cooper Coupe.

You will find some for sale on the web and the pictures are pretty good. A few don't even have stripes. Not my cup of tea about the color but unique.

Spice Orange with Black top combo in Factory JCW Coupe package should also be very rare.


May be we should call it a Dragon if you can find one LOL.

That would be super rare! No way in hell I'd want to drive a Halloween themed car all year long. Oh wait...I so of already do with my Darth Vader inspired R58. lol

High class gray ( maybe seen a couple of these )
Kite Blue

I have seen a Spice Orange/Black top combo on a Mini Coupe about 3 years ago but it was an S and I was looking only for a JCW. I passed.

Totally forgot about the Concept car in Kite Blue. Technically that would the rarest color. That interior was amazing. Great color combo.

I don't blame you. Orange and Black takes a certain personality to pull off. Only time will tell and decide what color will actually be valuable. As we know the R58 will be a future classic. Just need to wait till 2038 now. lol

Quite frankly, I like my Lightning Blue......... because it is a JCW and it is rare. I would have never buy a Mini Coupe in any color with only the S trim.

I don't believe the Coupe will ever be collectible in the future unless you own a stock Factory JCW with no mods.

It is refreshing to see something else than the boring basic colors we are accustomed.

I get pumped when I see another R58 on the road. I'll pull up, beep, and wave. They look at me like I'm a lunatic.

Still waiting to see: The White Buffalo

All white with white top and white stripes. Bonus if there is a white interior. lol

Maybe one day I'll buy another R58 to make The White Buffalo

For the chrome package i have seen it on the Coupe ( non s ). Pepper white with silver, not to many. Most do black for contrast.

Here is some more ; https://www.google.com/search?q=mini...UIBigB&dpr=0.9

Man...if I had stupid money I'd buy another r58 and make the whole car white. White top/body/wheel trim/window tint rims/tires/interior. Everything would be white.

Of course...if I had an insane amount of money to **** away. lol

I have to agree that Black makes more contrast but White w/ Black are a dime a dozen. I've yet to see a R58 JCW in Pepper White with Silver w/ the Chrome Package. I like that it makes it unique and I've yet to see another one like it anywhere.... Love to see another.

While white is pretty common on a Coupe, most have red or black tops with the red or black stripes and wheels.

Yours is even more interesting because it seems to be a factory JCW with silver wheels and the stripes are subdued.

Nice to see another Coupe that has not received a blackout treatment.

Did you ordered it new?
