Love the last picture!
Looks like a early Morris Super de lux ( white grill ) I think
Its the German plates, think they could have used G.B. plates
Would like to know if they were exported that early.
NOT a bashing comment just an observation.

The Red Mini was originally a Danish export 1959 model, now owned by the BMW museum so on German plates. Yes they were exported from day one in 1959.

It was also at Mini United in 2009, Goodwood and the IMM Longbridge shows:

That's just a concept, not sure if there is even a prototype at the moment?

I think you might have seen one of those SUV's, which look terrible no matter which part of the car you look at. This new one is even worse though, I can't understand why it's being compared to a classic mini so much, the original BMW mini's look more alike to a classic mini. Unless it's the similar size of this rocketman (space junk?) and a classic mini. I wonder how big it is inside though?

another **** car from BMW really!
