Can you spec the Seven in colours other than Solar Red?

I'm not buying one or anything, but I saw a "Seven" badged One yesterday - although I don't think it had the Seven wheels on - in Astro Black.

Can you choose the colour, or was this just a case of someone badge modding?

jayex · Jul 23rd, 2006, 07:39 AM

i'm pretty sure you can get it in other colours now too

James · Jul 23rd, 2006, 03:18 PM

You can get it solar red, black or silver but the red is only allowed on seven models so it would be pointless getting a seven without the solar red imo

Jordan210 · Jul 23rd, 2006, 04:04 PM

You can not get Solar red any more they stoped it ages ago

The colours you can get it in now are Chilli Red, Pepper White, Pure Silver and astro black i have seen an Astro black one and a Pure Silver one i think the Black one works the best

Heres a white one :

EDIT: just noticed it has pre-facelift bumpers, unless its a ONE D SEVEN (cant see the side skirts properly)

There were two brand new ones awaiting collection at my dealer the other day...

Thanks for the feedback guys - assumed that must be the case. Didn't imagine the colours would be limited though; thought it would be just Solar Red, or ANY colour you wanted...

they would have been orderd ages ago as they stoped it as an order befor May. Look on MINIs website

also i did have a black one on order

James · Jul 23rd, 2006, 05:45 PM

cool so my solar red one is limited edition yay but why on earth would they stop solar red?? that was the most popular colour apparently

minicore · Jul 23rd, 2006, 07:24 PM

Weird - the Checkmate and Park Lane are still available in the "limited edition" colours, but Solar Red has been given the axe?!

Jordan210 · Jul 23rd, 2006, 07:30 PM

yep i think it was todo with it not selling well or some thing like that not to shore tho why

minicore · Jul 23rd, 2006, 07:35 PM

To be honest, I'm not keen on SR - but to release a special edition, with a special paint option... then delete the colour after a couple of months - what's that all about?

Must be one of the rarest colours now - even Silk Green, Velvet Red and Solid Gold didn't get deleted that quickly!

I heard from my dealer that there was a problem with the paint in Solar red,black undercoat going funny or something.

I've just recently bought a mini one 7 in pepper white. i think the high gloss black stickers work with body colour really well. i added viper stripes to it and chrome lined the interior and exterior. i love the mini one 7 i think the 7 stickers make it look real sporty. here's my little baby (Molly)

Bezza24 · Aug 6th, 2006, 10:33 AM

sorry can't attach pics, they're too big!!! will adjust later

minicore · Aug 6th, 2006, 11:34 AM

I actually had an Astro Black Seven as a courtesy car the other day.

Good choice of colour Bezza - PW is great!
