Couldn't agree more - almond green is a very similar colour to one they used in the 60s too and IMHO is lovely.
BTW, they did green leather of the shade you mention on the 35th on Sportpacks too - I have one with an interior that very colour
Am currently speccing a new MINI and I'd jump at the chance of getting the colours you mention because I'm finding colour choice really limited to be honest.
Again I couldn't agree more - I have a great 1997 Mini brochure (actually I have three copies..) that's got a lovely array of colours, in comparison the colour options on New MINIs seem terribly limited I have to say.
Just to give you an idea here's the list:
Solid colours
Flame Red, White Almond, Electric Blue
Clearcoat Metallic colours
Charcoal, Platinum Silver, Kingfisher Blue, British Racing Green
Pearlescent colours
Nighfire Red, Tahiti Blue, Amaranth, Volcano
Classic colours
Almond Green, Yukon Grey, Surf Blue, Whitehall Beige
Maybe they want to get people paying for more 'exciting' colours but even the metallic colours are IMHO terribly limited.
That would be off poo brown would it not?
