Hey all,

I am putting together a website for rare and unusual classic minis.

The redbull is one of my favorites but I have limited pictures of all FGT registered cars other than whats contained within Google searches.

Can anyone help with pictures they may have from past shows/events etc?

Any information from Staff/drivers of the cars or from current owners too would be great!

Thanks in advance :unsure:

Thanks for getting in touch.

Yeah 12 1999 T registered classic minis and 2 1999/2000 V registerd classic mini Redbull models were made for UK/Ireland use.

5 remain in the UK only :P

Redbull exported most to other countries when the UK moved over to the "LARGER" mini? and one was destroyed in an accident

Posted Image

T569,570,572,575,579 Remain only and all are now decomissioned. T575 was the last to be decomissioned in the UK.

T580 and the two V registered models were exported to clubbing capitals and cut into bits and turned into DJ decks :)
Others are in the Dominican Republic and to the best of my knowledge still in use today.

Sorry I am not interested in the LARGER minis.

Do you have any pictures or information to offer?

Any of the ex Redbull mini owners would have to contact redbull if they wanted to paint them in redbull colours.
Three have changed owners in the last two years.

I have 3 photos, from the 2000 L2B run, in an album.

2 are of T570 FGT, with the sea in the background & no other Minis in the photo
and the other is of T573 FGT, with some other Minis in the photo.

If I remember correctly, there were 3 Red Bull Minis present at that event.
