Mini Speedster in Autoexpress

[Duncan Stewart]

There is a article about a mini speedster in this weeks AutoExpress mag. It is a 2 seater with raked back windscreen and hard or soft-tops and is said to be the new top of the range (ie most expensive ;)) model due out 2007. (That must make it about the 127th model due out in 2007 :eek:)
Looks good but rather un-mini like.

I take it the roof down and the roof up pics (pics 1 and 3) aren't of the same car. The point that the roof ends at the back (just behind the filler cap) doesn't look right.

I think one is supposed to be the "convertible" and one the hard top

All in all just a bad photoshop job I think ;)

[lightbody]

Autoexpress and their photoshop jobs - unbelievable! Is there ANY truth in their stories!? Most of their past 'scoops' dont seem to come true. They also do not make it clear that the pics are artists impressions...

Having said that - i think it looks pretty good and would probably consider buying it!

Well Eggy, Print the pics out, come out of your office and cross the road, walk in through the doors of JC's and show Matt the pics and see if you can put a deposit down on one mate :p:D

1 and 3 are the same car ....just that the back window goes down nearer the boot thats all

<jaw drops> They're not really releasing that are they??? It's totally un-mini like and dilutes the brand even further.

Mind you...I wanted the dune buggy version. :)

[Mini Me]

Doubt they will ever make it,but if i take his deposit it will pay for your wheels Col....

[Big Col]

I've just heard they're definetly going to make it! Just pay Iain the cash when you get a mo Zimbo. :)
