Unique Red Mini Cooper With Silver Bonnet Stripes

Just like everyone else, we’d love to see a special Mini Cooper. We love to see how an owner design their own car with unique stuffs so that the car looks different from others. Here we spotted a 1978 Red Mini Cooper MKIII with silver bonnet stripes and a custom made roof decal.

Take a look at the car hood, the owner places a new BMW Mini Cooper emblem instead of a classic Austin or Morris Mini emblems. At the back of the car, there is one British flag decal and a GB stickers. It makes the Mini more “Mini” by adding all these British related decals.

Both front and rear bumpers of the car looks new and shining. Front grill, signal lamp, front lamp, rear lamp and many other parts on this car looks very new too. Notice the Union Jack UK flag side mirror is not the normal type we often see on other Mini cars.

Get into the car, one very eye-catching thing is the custom made car seat with Mini Cooper logo on it. Complete in black and red, it makes the car worth every penny. Standard plastic dashboard is chosen on this car. However, the dashboard vinyl has been refurbished from the photo.

Not to be missed: 1998 Rover Mini Mayfair, $15,000 Custom Classic Mini Cooper as well as Matte Black Mini Cooper with Scissor Doors.

Without doubt, the owner has spent more money than you can imagine on this car. How many stars you will rate this car if 5 stars is 100%? You are welcome to leave a comment here.

A 2016 Mini Cooper hardtop weighs in between 2,605 lbs and 2,985 lbs, ranging from the basic Mini Cooper to the high performance Mini John Cooper Works. Somehow, there are 5 persons carry the car without using any hydraulic jack. Yes! As you can see from the photo below, they carry without anything. It shows how vital it is to understand how much does my car weigh.

Alright, this is just a promotion done by a Mini branch located in Kuala Lumpur. The entire car is built up with carbon fiber and it didn’t weighs 2605 lbs.

Red Mini Moke That Looks Spicy

A reader of MalaysiaMiniLover sent us a few photos of a red hot Mini Moke. This Mini Moke looks very spicy because of the chilli red exterior. Far away, you can clearly see the car is fitted with 13 x 7 minilite sport wheels. It makes the car looks bigger and feel more stable on the ground. According to the owner, doing a complete colour change cost him a lot. It is also very time-consuming and a real hassle to rebuild the whole car.

Mini Moke was built in between 1964 and 1968. It appears in the Mini MK 1 generation. Originally, it was built for light off road usage, however, you see most of them are already on the road today as a classic car.

On occasion the owner of this Mini Moke drives the car from his house to a recreation park. He doesn’t know how many miles he covers because the odometer has stopped working. See also: 1989 Mini Thirty (Mini 30)

Underneath, this Mini Moke is powered by a 848cc engine which has a very good fuel consumption compared to the newer 1275cc engine. After all you can’t go too fast in a Moke, isn’t it? Suspension wise, the moke runs a standard fully rebuilt dry suspension but with gas shocks, nylon bushes and adjustable tie bars.

Take a look at the interior, not much compared to a standard Mini deluxe because there is no door or hard roof. Two plastic front seats and a set of PVC rear seat. The reason the owner uses plastic front seats is to handle the heavy rain scene that always happen. Last but not least, check out this crazy fourteen seater Mini Moke!

1979 Mini Pickup

Here’s a genuine 1979 Mini Pickup. This is a MK4 Mini Pickup. The exterior is almost similar to MK3/MKIII Mini but there are a few parts under the hood were upgraded. The first Mini Pick-up were introduced in 1961 under the production of Austin Seven Pick-up. The car utilized the same floor pan as the Austin Se7en and Morris Minivan but had a flat loading bay and self-contained cabin. The drop-down tailgate at the rear of the load bay is what makes this car a unique one in Mini Timeline & History.

Painted in yellow, the owner of this Mini Pickup tries to keep it as original as possible. A pair of stainless steel side mirror were added to the car to make it look shining.

Original 10-inch wheel with chrome center cap makes the car look like an old-new pickup truck in this era.

Gorgeous front look. Does it look like a normal MK1 Mini if you don’t see the tailgate?

A MINI 95 decal is added to the drop-down tailgate of this car.

Nice classic steering wheel and original Mini seat.

It is nice to see the owner make the interior of a Mini as simple as possible. A center speedometer and a few important switches for wipers, headlamps, signals and etc. In fact, three pedals are what you need the most!

A view from the back of the Mini Pickup.

Side view of the 1979 Mini Pickup.

Under the hood, this Mini pickup is powered by a 998cc engine.

Again, rear view of the car.

Notice the sliding window? This looks exactly like a MK1 door.
