MINI Commercials

Sections: Video Apr 6th, 2005 15 Comments

Inspired by the recent Counterfeit MINI spot currently running on cable television, I decided to look up more commercials of our beloved car. Only a few have aired in the US, and most of those (along with ones featured in other countries) have already been discussed here. But while searching around I came across a few I hadn’t seen before, and thought I’d pass them on:

Follow That Car
Break that back-end loose – you gotta love the last shot!

In Disguise
Fast-n-furious, with a twist. Unfortunately, those in the know get the joke early, since we all know a MINI tach when we see one…

While these ads may not be new (dated 2004 and 2003 respectively), they both capture the thrill of motoring and slight cheekiness of the MINI brand. Both ads were produced by WCRS, an agency in London that’s done work for both MINI and BMW.

And, just in case you hadn’t noticed before, you can always check out more videos by following MotoringFile’s “Video & Commercials” links in the sidebar to your right.

WCRS never ceases to amaze me. That 1 series commercial has always been a favorite.

That said check out UK this commercial about Honda’s new line of effecient diesel engines (done by Weiden+Kennedy). It was just named commercial of the year in the UK. And if you like that you’ll love their commercial that one in 2003.

mobile.de spot

of course not direkt a MINI-ad, but very nice scenes with the MINI in action.

Cool, Lawrence. They’ve been saved to my Movies folder (try to keep me from saving something you let me play? ha!)

Ahh.. I got ‘em. Added to my mini video archive. :) MINI should really gather up all these videos and host them themselves. Especially great ones like these two.

I believe the In Disguise ad was banned in Australia for misrepresenting the car.
Meg
