My brother had a '91 Cooper in Silver w. black roof - always looked amazing

I'd paint mine red with a Union Jack on the roof and white minilite alloys

I picked Maroon with Black roof... that's always a great color.

2nd option would be the offwhite with black roof or navy blue with white roof.

I hate to say it but the red/white or red/black is overplayed... only r/w if you were planning to make a full on rally replica.

Even my old 70 Aussie Mini Cooper S that I imported is overplayed, BRG w/White roof... guy I sold it to put a Union Jack on the roof and stores it next to his Super7.

Man... can't wait to get another one someday (old, not new)

A Union Jack roof would be very cool indeed.
