R56 Spyshot Round-up

Wow, that MINI2 Oxford shot is awesome. Too bad it isn’t closer-up. That car looks really sharp and really finished – with real paint and such on it. Very nice.

It’s ashame the pic of the silver R56 isn’t a bit clearer as that seems to be the most production ready picture I’ve see. Other then that though I happen to like the new design, can’t wait to see some more pictures Mike

So, do they crush the mules when all is said and done?

I wish MINI would show one of these mules at a car show instead of recycling the Traveler Concept one more time. Imagine the buzz that would be generated.

Is that a rear side vent?

Maybe they have found a way to keep the boot clean.

I saw 4 R56s on the same morning that the gent on Mini2 probably did. The picture seems to be taken on a stretch of road between Horsepath and Wheatley – about a mile from the factory. The cars are finished but are still heavily camo’d. A colleague told me, that the black tape they ordinarily use, had been sprayed by our paintshop to match body colour – i must say it was very effective.
