Mini Traveller Concept Unveiled At Frankfurt

[MartinSullivan]

Saw a few photoshopped pics a while back, but these look a wee bit more genuine. I must admit I quite like it , would have to see it in the flesh though. Anyone going to Frankfurt show able to get any pics :question::)

THAT is minging,

how big are the front doors do they go all they way up to the front wing,

think this might also be a chop

[MartinSullivan]

There are genuine shots from Frankfurt in the Sun and the car looks pretty much as it does in the shots above.

[KINGHORN]

MMMM, oh well, still dont like it, lol

[bpirie1000]

Kinda Got a Cayanne /Pt Cruizer Look to it..

NOT A NICE MIX..... :dead:
Check the Size of the Mini Boot Badge.. Bigger than the Light Clusters.. Something Not right there..

The Hinges for the Rear leave the tail Lights On the Body.. mmmmm

Think Mini are taking the piss with this one..

Oh a good Point on it though :clown:
Rear windows that open.. ( there had to be something..)

[Burple]

I kinda like it.. in a chunky way...

don't like the way the lights at the front look tho!! :dead:

[Scottie]

well I like it.

H'mm wonder if all my five dogs would fit in the back.

[The Dogfather]

Given that its meant to be a concept and therefore a bit extreme I like it :)

[Cooper_si]

I love it! Really cool design....couple of things ive noticed...

1) I thought due to pedestrian safety, bonnet scoops were no longer allowed?
2) How long are them front doors !!!
3) DB9 style front lights are GREAT !!!
4) Rear windows that slide back are awesome and a neat idea
5) Single front wiper...a must for chavs !!
6) Loving the massive rear MINI logo !!

....i wont bore you all anymore

[N12 JLK]

YUK!

[redpoint rallying]

Squint your eyes a wee bit and you will see what the actual production car will look like! These concepts are always a bit mad but somewhere in there is a cracking mini estate...particularly if its an 'S'...I think it could be great.....but I want an 'S'MINI Van if it comes out. Now that would be a hoot!

well I've managed to get a hold of someone going to the show he has promised to take loads of piccies on any mini's:cool:

[lightbody]

They're losing the mini-ness.

Front is too streamlined, windscreen too raked back (like a normal car).

I like the floating seats though - great idea - and the way they've made the elipse in the doortrim go right into the back - But the dash itself is over-styled, looks American-retro and would be more at home in the PT Cruiser...

Already two steps ahead of you Fi ;)

[Duncan Stewart]

I like it :approve: generally but not sure about the front end

[euan]

Front end is a real mess, and it's not a real mini. They have kept the key features (for example, the line from the screen down to the wheel is the same angle) but sweeping it back is just wrong.

in saying that, the interior, the seats and the roof at the back are VERY cool.

BBC news article about the traveller...

Looks like it'll be happening.

[Mini Me]

Cool as fcuk :p.....not just cos i sell em either !!!:p

[duncan]

Don't like the front - Definately not MINI like.
Back, interesting, but the roof doesnt look right, IMHO.

Hope they don't go down the more money than good taste route, a la the Porsche 4x4 beast

[Smurf]

Don't like the front end - the laid back lights and upright grille look wrong...
Don't like the HUGE Mini logo on the back!
Don't like the dash - waaaaayyyyy too styled.

But the rest of it - I like! :D Although it appears I'm in a minority!
If it handled like my Coop, and was as much fun, I'd have one.

[Scottie]

here are some pictures I got taken for me will post some more this evening when not working;):p

Got to say these are cool we touches.

I love that new styling on the scoop (crying out for some carbon fibre though, that chrome number will have Wul out for days with Megs products!)

Although, I don't the badge in it, I think it would look better with a "clean" line and the badge where it is.

[ianking]

cant wait for that to come out. I want to leave a deposit for one now. Definately very smart. Ive got an old clubman estate awaiting restoration so they would make a fine pair. Perhaps we will see one at the factory when we go in November.
