What MINI wanted to make, and what a supplier SHOULD make...

It would have been nice, and surely SOMEONE really smart could do this:

Thats cool, I remember them on old Morris Minors too, would be great, green one side, red the other !

[Paul]

Yes, the flashing indicator stalk was an idea to hark back to the first Mini's which had this feature. Apparantly they couldn't do it, because the green flashing light would have been on the wrong side for convention in certain countries (or something like that) so they had to drop it.

Paul I am looking at doing this for myself. Did you ever get to drive a MINI with this set up? As I don't know if the LED would be visible because of the steering wheel.

I never drove a MINI with this no, this photo is from 'a source' and is of a test car.

Let us know if this becomes available!
I LOVE the flashing red alarm indicator on the right stalk, it would be very cool to have one on the left as a turn signal indicator or Highbeam indicator or...?

This is the design for the indicator light, it would have been really cool if they had gone ahead and made it, but all plans from BMW were dropped (due to regulations).

Not sure if it would be viable for an aftermarket company to put one together?

Not my cup of tea - it'd give me a headache

[Rakey]

classy, like it, would have been nice, what a shame

[MINIALEX]

Great idea - I have probs with the indicator light on my MINI, when my stereo is on loud I forget its on as you can't really see it

[DeniseK]

Totally cool. Just think of all the extras that were dropped because of regulations. Let's start with a wooden steering wheel and wooden dash. Anyone else?

[mikeythemini]

I saw this years ago and would love to have them made but so far not found anyone that would make them in low quantities
Anyone got an old broken arm they can donate so I can PLAY
