I like it- but wondered if it could be sold on easily come resale time.

Like the look of this one:

Mini : Mini Cooper S Cabriolet

Thanks for your help!

I personally wouldnt have a Green car, though I do think BRG looks good on a MINI

You dont tend to see to many around on the 2nd hand market, either MINI Cherished or private though

sony · Apr 9th, 2008, 06:43 PM

Exactly. And the reason for that is that they're probably not popular enough in green. i wouldn't have a green car either but it does look good on the mini.

Paul · Apr 9th, 2008, 06:43 PM

If you want one, I'm sure others will too. If you see the logic.

Zack · Apr 9th, 2008, 07:15 PM

I think it look lovely, go for it and be a little different.!!

Mejy Poo · Apr 9th, 2008, 07:45 PM

I think that BRG MINI looks very nice!

If you want it then go for it!

Weird In Wiltshire · Apr 9th, 2008, 07:45 PM

I think green is a strange colour for a car; BRG is nice on a MINI but I doubt I'd buy that colour myself. I like dark silver, red or moo cow pats

Minnie Mouse · Apr 9th, 2008, 07:57 PM

Lovely looking car!

There is the exact same colour cabriolet near to me and I see it all the time and just love the green hood too!

I have owned probably about 3 green cars before now and loved them all despite my mum always telling me green cars are unlucky!

Moo cow pat sounds a nice colour

Lolance · Apr 9th, 2008, 07:58 PM

yes yes yes!! go for it!!

I'm hoping it means brown!

MINIAC · Apr 9th, 2008, 08:50 PM

My previous two cars were green ...

but after seeing BRG in the flesh it was just too dark for my taste so I went with Dark Silver ...

Nerrep · Apr 9th, 2008, 09:21 PM

Looks good, but poor resale value (according to the dealer I got mine from - Pepper White in the end). Slightly disappointing, cos I'd have had a green one!

dlpruk · Apr 9th, 2008, 11:32 PM

We BRG lovers want to stay exclusive so please pick one of the lesser options!

BRG/Blk Cooper S · Apr 10th, 2008, 02:41 AM

Hi,
I have a BRG/Blk S with panther black/silver interior, factory darkened glass, sunroof, 17" S-Spokes and it looks brilliant, really suits the Mini and its mean little Bulldog stance - having owned an Astro black Cooper prior to the S I can honestly say the only other colour I'd consider is Black II - would never want DS, just too common.

BRG looks really great when it's freshly waxed with a deep, wet shine.

Not so keen on the interior colours of that S you are looking at but that is just my preference - I think the more black to set off the BRG the better.

I think the right colour is so depend on the actual car - for example modern Mercedes simply don't suit red but the 1989 SL500 looks incredible in red, Lambo's look amazing in yellow, a Porsche 911 is the only car I think can really pull off white.

Anyway, get the BRG it's sweet and rare!!

85NIXMIN · Apr 10th, 2008, 04:16 AM

Oooh nice... I haven't seen too many BRG cabrio's here with a green roof to boot.... I'd go for it...

I don't even care what colour my next MINI is as long as its a "S Cabrio"... I'll be happy

sony · Apr 10th, 2008, 05:28 AM

Wow thanks for your help people. I'm still very undecided!! I must admit I'd rather be a sheep and buy a black mini. Yes they're hard work to keep clean but when they are immaculate they look so good. Plus a black/blue car will always sell.
It's just that the green was a little different, and I could have got a good price for it ( maybe it was because of the colour!!

).

KPKalle · Apr 10th, 2008, 06:48 AM

My previous MINI was BRG. It looks especially good when the sun is shining and it's clean

As you're not sure, I'll explain; it's a creamy colour all over and then the cow pats are in black, splattered over the car in the odd area. Maybe there's a technical name for it? Anyone?

minicabrio · Apr 10th, 2008, 08:21 AM

Surely thats just an all pepper white MINI with cow marking decals?

There's no technical name for it.
