Sorry if this has been done before, but i was just looking through sites to find my dream mini, and it got me thinking about all of yours!

When i was first looking to buy a mini, i nearly bought a mini pickup, it was cheap and local, but it got sold just before i was going to view it (damnit). But anyway, my dream mini would have to be...

Mini van with a 1275cc engine, and some banded 10 inch steelies, in shiny gloss black (mmmmm...)

EDIT: Pictures would be good too :)

We're very lucky we own our dream Rover minis. But I've got a soft spot for the Innocenti and like 99% of people on here hanker after a Mk1 Cooper S or just a lovely Mk1 I'm willing to lose the S for originality

One day :shifty:

I must say, i'm not normally a fan of standard/original minis, like they look amazing, but i feel i'd get bored with owning one, but a standard mk1 would just be... :w00t:

Already own one of my dream minis, our Mk3 S

Would love a Mk1 in this sort of style

But my ultimate all time dream mini would have to be LBL 6D. How I'd love to rag that around the Peak District :gimme:

I'd love an original Mark I, like this:

And one of the very late MPIs, a 2000 like I've got at the moment:

I think the contrast of the two would be fantastic, old and new!

i'd have a 59 and keep it looking like one, but put a 1.8vvc k series under the bonnet.
Upset the purists and the modern day drivers all with one car :D
