One Millionth MINI just been built

[NickyJ]

Last night we were on a Factory Tour when they told us that they had just built the one millionth MINI

It's a Pepper White R56, and I'm sure we'll be reading about it in the papers soon

Unfortunately we didn't see it, it had come off the line by the time we got there.

I'm pretty sure they said that the millionth one was a 'special' car and they'd be hanging onto it, and I think they said it had a green roof, which sounds odd, but we'll have to wait and see

It was brilliant thanks, even better than I thought it would be

We spotted the side panel for a traveller while we were going round, not sure we were supposed to see it, but it was definately longer than a normal MINI - when someone asked the guide what it was he said he didn't know

See my post above.



The car is indeed Pepper White with a "new green" roof.

Odd.
