Wasn't sure myself if this was general or future variants, as it's not far off.

1st April 2006: MINI Going Retro & Getting Funky in 2006

You heard it here first.

ahh - interesting....

frail pool +april fool+ maybe?

Paul · Apr 1st, 2006, 08:50 AM

Just done some research, thanks to www.minipark.net (my old Mini is on there somewhere)

Found some of the colours (not sure how close these originals the new will be)....

Surf Blue: http://www.minipark.net/car_image.ht... 5Cjvo_011.jpg
Java Green:

Applejack:

Sand Glow:

Harvest Gold:

Russet:

I wonder if we'll get a load of 1275 GT look-a-likes, as side stripes are ever more popular anyway?!

My dad had applejack, very bright is all i can say..

SoggyCornFlakes · Apr 1st, 2006, 08:54 AM

love the russet

I think side stripes are the way forward - might go for a russet with a java rgeen colour side stripe next time around

<----- off to ring Wollastons

Paul · Apr 1st, 2006, 08:55 AM

Maybe Russet is the new "Velvet Red"?

Also, before anyone asks, no information on what colours will be available for what models.

DeadCanDanceR · Apr 1st, 2006, 09:10 AM

Applejack seems quite interesting!

Jordan210 · Apr 1st, 2006, 09:19 AM

You heard it here first.

Just an Idea as this is april the 1st could they be playing a trick on us ?

laura f · Apr 1st, 2006, 09:20 AM

a surf blue cabrio would have been good, if only we'd waited

LordWinslow · Apr 1st, 2006, 09:21 AM

You sure this is not an April Fools Joke put out by Mini?

Now with that said, I love Surf Blue...

I vote for a classic Paul Mullett leg pull

Putting the date in front of the news headline is the clue I think

AprilWhine · Apr 1st, 2006, 10:14 AM

I like the applejack.

Paul · Apr 1st, 2006, 11:08 AM

With which roof?

Rakey · Apr 1st, 2006, 11:32 AM

what no Vermillion

I guess Russet it has to to be then, always wanted a sh*t brown mini

Baker · Apr 1st, 2006, 11:43 AM

On saying that (ahem, date), I've actually seen a legitimate Russet Brown New Mini Cooper... custom sprayed obviously... I remember it distinctly because Dad used to have a Russet Brown Mini

Wooly · Apr 1st, 2006, 12:17 PM

Surf Blue (a vibrant blue), Java Green (emerald green), Applejack (a very bright green), Sand Glow (an orangey yellow), Harvest Gold (metallic gold) and Russet (a shade of brown).

sounded nice there until you posted the colours.
if this is true they should do it, as in keeping the names but id prefer a more brighter or pastelly kind of colour, a more classy deep glossy summer colours would look good, not bright AND dull like them pictures you posted.

With applejack, it would have to be sand glow. Plus, my daisy wheels would transfer right over.

Ady · Apr 1st, 2006, 01:39 PM

Applejack with black roof and bonnet stripes would do me nicely

, shame theres no pageant blue just like a clubman estate i used to own, ahhh..........
