Hi there.

I own a 1991 Mainstream Cooper in Quicksilver and I'm trying to find out how many were produced in this colour as I have only ever seen one other than my own.

Could anybody point me in the direction of where I might find such info please?

Cheers

Gavin

I am pretty sure it is quite a rare colour, but am sure Taffy will have some idea. :)

Sorry to let you down, but I have no idea how many were made in different colours like Quicksilver and I don't think the Heritage Centre would know that kind of information either?

But you could ask this chap who is an expert on the Mainstream Mini Cooper, because he may know: -

Cheers Taffy.

Am I right in thinking that that's Anorak from TMF?

Thanks for the advice.

Yes that's the very man himself, but it's fair to say that Quicksilver was probably the rarest colour used where as Flame Red was quite likely to be the most common?

I've now been pointed in the direction of Melanie O'Riordan. Does anybody know how to contact her, or can anybody pass her on my details?

Cheers

The anorak on The Mini Forum wasn't sure, but he's since created a dedicated Register/Forum for the Mainstream Cooper (see my advert on a different thread or click the link below and why not join up too if you own such a model?).

But this particular thread there may be of interest to you: -

:cool:

I don't know if there's any truth behind that claim though?
