The plus
There have been many, many official versions of the Mini, but never a factory tribute to one of Mini's most famous creations. Perhaps there should have been, because Mr Bean's green and black Mini is as mischievous and fun as fans of these cars know. Fortunately, in the absence of an official version, there is this car, a 1989 1000 that has been lovingly evolved into a tribute to Mr Bean's four-wheeled friend.
Enthusiasts will note the green paintwork matched with a black bonnet and the 'upgraded' door locks. Look closer and you'll even find the faithful companion 'Teddy' sitting comfortably inside. This is a low mileage car that is very clean and totally ready to go.
Peace of mind guaranteed thanks to the MOT valid until May 2026. For those looking for a classic Mini with an extra touch of character, this looks tempting.
