Went to pick up the mad Smart Crossblade i've got on loan this evening, the local Foxtons office also use the carpark to park there company Coopers - but they've changed the logo designs.
All are finished in British Racing Green, but the first generation cars had a british flag in Foxtons colours of yellow and light green. They also had rally style numbers on the doors.
The latest design is even harder to miss on the streets of London, with yellow flames coming from the front of the car and Foxtons logos on the doors and roof.
Any other members in London seen these cars? They're a great mobile advert for the company.

Yep, I've seen them. Been in one of them actually and they're pretty low spec inside. There was no sunroof or aircon (the paint job clearly costs them a few quid). But the Foxtons 'salespeople' do look pretty smug when you see them driving around in their company motors. Beats a vectra or mondeo hands down!

i saw one outside my dealer's. it was green with a yellow and white union jack roof. it also had a plate like a 'GB' plate but with 'SJW' and 'St.Johns Wood' underneath in small writing.

hardly the car to take more than one person to see a property in but v.cool idea.

saw one down Chiswick high road last week. The bloke driving it didn't seem to be very happy so no wave.

zzz · Jan 21st, 2003, 10:29 AM

probably upset he wasn't driving an s. i have done much flashing of coopers and ones recently and had no response.

mattyc · Jan 21st, 2003, 11:45 AM

here are the concept sketches!
what do y'all think?

mattyc · Jan 21st, 2003, 11:46 AM

sorry i'll try again!

mattyc · Jan 21st, 2003, 11:55 AM

i can't seem to upload the image!

goonermini · Jan 21st, 2003, 01:05 PM

I passed one in Swiss Cottage (parked by that one-way bit), and I had to go round the block and have another look! I didn't realise it was a Foxtons one, but looked very cool! Especially the bonnet flames!

mattyc · Jan 22nd, 2003, 03:04 PM

Here's a pic of the new Foxtons cooper, what do you all think?

mattyc · Jan 22nd, 2003, 03:05 PM

And a side pic

Cool, much better than those horrible Orange/Yellow UJ roofs!!

minicoopersgirl · Jan 22nd, 2003, 05:18 PM

Very nice, love the graphics!

goonermini · Jan 22nd, 2003, 05:25 PM

I want one! In fact, I need one! Just the cute little sticker above the exhaust pipe. Does anyone know if it is possible to buy these anywhere? Do Foxtons have a spare one!?!

mattyc · Jan 22nd, 2003, 05:30 PM

just asked for you but sorry no can do-they only have enough allocated for the cars

goonermini · Jan 22nd, 2003, 05:38 PM

Never mind - thanks for asking anyway. I guess I'll just had to go without a 'flaming exhaust'!

mattyc · Jan 22nd, 2003, 05:41 PM

draw the design you want on a bit of paper, take it to a car tuning company-(a crappy one like ripspeed in halfords and ask them for a vinyl company in your area-shouldn't cost no more than a tenner

smiffy · Jan 22nd, 2003, 07:29 PM

Makes a change from bonnet stripes
