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.

Is that a rear side vent?

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

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.

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

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

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.
