1989 Mini Sky
In January 1989, Mini launched one of their limited edition Minis – the Mini Sky. Mini Sky is based on Mini City and the production is only limited to 500 cars. Many of them are not surviving today thus not many people (include Mini fans) know about the existence of Mini Sky. Today, MalaysiaMiniLover is going to re-introduce the Mini Sky. It is a must to bring it back to life because the design is unique and the chances to see them in any Mini Cooper Gathering is close to zero.
There is always a question in mind when a Mini lover plan to rebuild their beloved Mini – “What kind of colors should I paint?” Well, the Mini Sky is definitely a great idea for you. The Mini Sky is painted in Diamond White with a Sky blue (some called it pastel blue) roof. The original Mini Sky features grey Crayons fabric seats, black carpets, grey interior, black wheel arches, black side mirror, white wheels, and surprisingly, black bumpers and black front grille.
The Mini Sky features “Sky” decals on the body. As this is a limited edition, they are no longer available for sale. The only way to get them is to create a custom decals from any sticker shops.
Just like other Mini in the Mini MK5 generation, the Mini Sky is powered by a 998cc four-cylinder engine.
A radio/cassette player was standard in every Mini Sky. In 1989, it costs £4,695 to buy it brand new.
The original Mini Sky is nice, however, we found a photo of Mini Sky from Dean’s Minis who actually painted the wheel arches with Sky blue and replaced both the front and rear bumpers to chrome type. Isn’t it look nicer?
Will it be nicer if the side mirror also painted in Sky blue? Can we make it even more “Sky” by making two tones “Blue-White” car seats like the 1994 Mini Cooper Monte Carlo in Mini MK6 generation?

These are the photos of a 2014 MINI Cooper Countryman. A reader of MalaysiaMiniLover from Thailand sent it to us on last week after she collected the car from Millennium Auto MINI located at Sukhumvit 63 (Soi Ekkamai), Bangkok. According to the owner, this is her first MINI and she is very excited about the car. She bought this car brand new and it was the last batch of MINI Countryman first generation (R60).
The MINI Countryman was launched in 2010 as the first subcompact crossover SUV by MINI. The R60 model is available from 2010 – 2014 and it received a facelift for 2015 model, named the R60 LCI.
Under the MINI Countryman family, there are 6 different types of Countryman and they are – MINI One Countryman (98PS), MINI Cooper Countryman (122PS), MINI Cooper ALL4 Countryman (122PS), MINI Cooper S Countryman (184PS), MINI Cooper S ALL4 (184PS), as well as the most powerful MINI John Cooper Works Countryman that comes with 211PS. The one in the photo is a blue MINI Cooper Countryman. Although they come with different power output, they are all fitted with the same 1,598 cc engine under the hood. On the other hand, there is also an option for diesel engine and they are – MINI One D Countryman, MINI Cooper D Countryman and MINI Cooper SD ALL4 Countryman. The Cooper SD comes with a 1,995 cc turbocharged engine that produces 143PS.
So far, the owner is very satisfy with this beautiful blue MINI Cooper Countryman. Have you got your MINI Countryman yet?

Mini Cooper 35
In May 1996, Rover launched the Mini Cooper 35 to celebrate the marque’s 35th anniversary. Because it is limited to only 200 units, it has become one of the most sought-after Mini Cooper among all other Minis in the MK6 generation. A look from the outside, the Mini Cooper 35 Anniversary is painted in solid almond green (HAK – BLVC1212) and old English white (NMN – BLV655) for the roof. Gun metal grey Minilite 12” sport wheel, four front spot lamps, porcelain green full leather interior and unqiue decals are other visible things on this car.Mini Cooper 35 Photos
These are the photos of the ordinary Mini Cooper 35. There are total of 195 units were built in 1996.
Interior of Mini Cooper 35 – Porcelain green full leatherMini Cooper 35 John Cooper Works
Well, among the 200 Mini Cooper 35, there are 5 were brought into the renowned John Cooper Works garage for some upgrade. As this is a rare version, only the lucky one stands a chance to own the John Cooper Works Mini Cooper 35. Specifications of the JCW Mini Cooper 35 include a converted cylinder head that pumps 86 hp, Koni shock absorbers, oil cooler, K&N filter elements, unique exhaust system and John Cooper stainless steel sill plates. The standard engine under the hood of a normal Mini Cooper 35 produces 63 hp. This is an obvious 23 hp increase. That makes many Mini collectors would like to own one. See also: 1995 Mini Tartan.
Matching leather steering wheel and gear knob. The steering wheel is also featured an “Anniversary Edition” badge.
According to the brochure, the acceleration of 0-60 mph is 12.2 seconds and the top speed is at least 90 mph. However, our drivers had tested this car personally and the top speed we get is about 106 mph (170 kmh).
Without doubt, the Mini Cooper 35 is rare and very collectable. It definitely cost more than 10,000 pound in the UK and at least $20,000 dollars outside of UK.
