Does anyone know anything about a MINI pickup truck, like the old ones that I have seen around?

In the Sun newspaper (A quality newspaper for all those who don't know

), I saw a picture of a quick sketch of what it looks like and it looks VERY nice!

Just like the Red Bull one!

Any information on that as well?

Thanks peeps!

I saw one in my local MINI delaer the other day for servicing. It had a Belgian number plate on it.

I do wonder how many of these conversions there are around, and who did them for Red Bull?

We had one on the MINI run I went on in Australia

Found some info at:

http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_sh...a_design_mini/

Apparently the Sun said it would have like 260bhp...or I may have made that up or over estimated....but I want it!!!

Thank you very much ButtonIt!

Just look soooo wicked!

And the MINI would actually have boot space!

A buddy has just come back from a business trip to Vienna, and he sent me this shot.

Does anyone know how many of these there are, and where they were done? Also, if anyone from Red Bull is out there - what are your plans for the cars when this promotion is over, please?

jeffers · Jul 5th, 2005, 11:11 AM

Saw one on the way into Weymouth last weekend...

MINI Poser · Jul 5th, 2005, 01:13 PM

I have to see one! Plus I want to find out how much a conversion like that would be.....

Im thinking don't have a can (unless they pay me sponsorship) and put a huge boot lid on the back with a Union Flag on it.....get in!

scarymini · Jul 5th, 2005, 04:09 PM

one was in the top paddock at Goodwood all weekend for the festival neat job had a good look over it !

contact Red Bull then maybe they will sell u one of the cars when they feel it is no longer useful. they will have to do something with the cars. probably take the decals and can off aswell

MATT I COULD KISS YOU!!!

Your Uni education is finally paying off!

Great thinking boy!

I'd wack a V8 in the front for a real meaty noise!

there is an Irish MINI2'er that drives one of the RedBull MINI's, can't remember the user name though

Its top speed is some what reduced because of the large can in the back being a fully working fridge

wonder if these will one day be as collectable and rare as owning the classic MINI Jaffa Orange

Fevs · Jul 6th, 2005, 05:41 PM

there was one at the INMM in belgium the other week didn't pay much attention to it as i was to busy eyeing up the totty that was dishing out the cans of red bull

Really?!

Hmm....Might be worth keeping it on then!

Or put a large boot on the back.....

Now all I need to do is learn something about modding cars and stuff, and I should be sorted to turn it into a beast!
