Thumbs up Pepper White with Red interior!

OK...I know it sounds kinda whacky, but I'm thinking of getting a Pepper White Cooper with a red interior. A few months back, I heard about one guy in the UK who was going to order one like that but have never seen what it might look like...

Any takers? Or maybe even a reasonable Photoshop facsimile?

(And yes, I realize it sounds unconventional and a little "out there...)

My dealer has just taken delivery of 2 White MINI's. They are in the compound & they both have white roof's so unsure if they are Cooper's or ONE's

Not so "out there" at all. Wasn't one of the Monte Carlo winners white with a black roof? Well, one of the famous '60s rally cars was that color combo. Personally I hanker for a pepper white/black roof Cooper with Sport Susp. Plus and the Works conversion, but no telling when the JCW package will be available in the States, or at what cost.

Sounds wonderful, a perfect combination - not wacky at all. Are you planning on a black roof and mirrors?

Just picture a nice red interior in the car below:

+ 1965 Mini Traveller - Tartan Red / White roof, 1275, Cooper S discs, fully restored/renewed

I've seen the tinted windows photo above...I just can't picture the red interior with it. I get close, but just can't quite get the whole look!

When I said "Just picture a nice red interior in the car below" I used the work picture as a verb meaning to imagine, create in your mind's eye, envisage a red interior in that white car.

Wasn't there a non-tinted version of the photo above? I've only seen about 3 or 4 pics of a Pepper White MINI anywhere - and none of them have been from MINI itself! Only here!

Do you think any have been built this way yet?

Yes, the tinting is not real - a digital effect.

Just found the original photo:

Thanks for that. Now if I could only find a red MINI with a red interior and get someone to do a Pepper White Photoshop job with a black roof! (If you don't wish for things, they won't happen... )

There's gotta be someone out there with a good pic of their MINI and its red interior that I could get someone to do a PhotoShop job on to show me what my potential dream car would look like...

Not a problem, cheered me up no end on a horrible Monday morning!!

I think it would look pretty good with a red interior, and then get it dirty so the outside looks black.

Varse's Velvet Beauty Mk11 is no longer, sold back to my dealer.

My Pepper White MINI with Black roof and bonnet stripes and a red 1/2 leather interior is now confirmed by production control and due by the end of this month (24th to be exact). If I can figure out how to upload photos then I'll post some for you, have to admit that I'm a bit of technological dinosaur though.

Just stuck it in my gallery, it was easier.
