So I can go to the bbc and watch the video for £10 an hour. I don't think I will bother.

There's a Mk2 Cooper, (Island Blue), featured quite a lot in 'The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue'
It's a really bad zombie movie from the late 70's. More laughs than gore

What? Bad zombie movie? This 1974 movie is an absolute gem and the heroes knock about in that MKII Mini 1000 which isn't a Cooper, even though its got a white roof, it's just a 1000 as the badges and lack of a covered top dash rail prove.

It's still pretty gory and you have to excuse the dubbed voices as it's essentially a Spanish made movie that was made in the UK.

there was also a black mini in one of the last scenes of the 1st bridget jones film

That one isn't on the IMCDb.org website (they have the nearly complete list of cars on film and T.V) here is the Mini page
