Does anyone know much about the stripy Paul Smith Mini's? Are they hard to get hold of or are they even avaliable?


Please let me know people, info will be appreciated!

I think only one was made, but others have since copied it on their own cars.

That car looked amazing I saw it in a magazine.

If I wanted a custom looking Mini I'd get one like that...for my girlfriend.

There is nothing on the UK version of the Paul Smith site, but you can see the car on the Japanese site:

Sorry to go off topic, babelfish is such a great invention

And I have always wondered... will they ever make a stripey paul smith bini?
And how many were there originally, which one is real?

[Pooky]

I wish my mini had a trunk room!

I think there were originally two stripey ones, but they weren't the same. I think one went to Japan and one stayed with Paul Smith and is now in a museum?

[taffy1967]

I think one had a green front, where as the other had an orange front?

[minivan2007]

there are only 2stripy paul smith minis the 1st one was for the tokyo motor show 1997 ,the orange front one is a jap spec mini which is owned by paul smith himself ,the green front one a uk spec car is owned by bmw!!!
