Yesterday the wife and I went to the Braman Mini Cooper Italian Job Party; managed to take a couple of snaps of the Brito Mini Cooper they have in the showroom there. Romero Brito is a brazilian artist that uses very bright colors and patterns in his art, and is quite joyful to look at (IMHO, of course).

Enjoy!

Better view of the hood (bonnet) art...

Here's the final one; shot of the poster; lighting didn't really cooperate, but you get the idea; I don't think they'd let me scan it.

Oh, btw, if you're interested in buying this piece of art, I believe Braman Mini has turned down offers of 200k so far, so...

Yeah I am familiar with the Brito Cooper. I think this MINI will go perfect as the poster cover for a Brazilian Jazz CD....Viva Anotnio Carlos Jobim!

i have no idea about art but i am pretty sure that you can commission perhaps another rekowned artist to paint another original MINI Cooper for that much money.

BMW did just that about 25 years ago. Have a look at some BMW models done by some very famous artists:

I like the Alexander Calder car.

I think I must have been born without the modern art gene!

Not my taste...
