ABOUT THE VEHICLE

This 2005 Mini Cooper Coupe was purchased brand new by Red Bull North America, Inc. to be used as one of their promotional cars.

There were approximately 500 of these cars commissioned to be built by A California custom shop that were used all over the country. The promotion was extremely successful as everyone who sees this car instantly identifies it as a "Red Bull Mini Truck" even without the logos & giant can in place!

This 2005 Mini Cooper Red Bull Truck is finished in Blue Metallic with Custom Graphics and a matching Black Leatherette Interior. All of the power features and everything is in excellent working order. Yes, all of the power windows, locks, mirrors, steering, brakes, stereo, headlights, wipers, etc. all work great! This Mini rides & drives FANTASTIC! In town or cruising down the highway at 100 kph you could not ask for a nicer or better driving Mini Cooper I just have too many toys and something has to go.

This one is sure to please its new owners for many years to come!

The exterior is in great condition. The paint is clean and has an excellent luster to it as you can see in the many pictures we have included in this listing. All of the graphics look great too. The custom installed sunroof is certainly a very cool feature! The bumpers, moldings, glass, etc. all look great too. Originally for Red Bull there would have been 2 rear coolers, but all of that has been removed and after some very extensive changes this Mini has been converted into a PICKUP TRUCK with a custom lockable tonneau cover! The custom alloy wheels are riding on a set of 4 new low profile tires with less than 500km on them.

The interior is also in excellent condition. The interior looks just super as you can see. The leatherette seats are clean and look just super side to side. There is also a little bit of storage room behind the front seats. The dash is clean and has no stress cracks either. The carpets are clean and all look great too. Just take a look at all of the pictures and see how special this Red Bull Mini truly is!

DO NOT MISS THIS ONE THERE MAY NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT!

Thanks for looking and good luck with the auction.

Mini USA will temporarily stop importing manual transmissions

Fri, May 24 2019

Emissions certification woes strike again, this time at Mini. The U.S. arm of Blighty's iconic car company has had to temporarily put a stop to importing any models with manual transmissions beginning with July production, which is when BMW typically begins rolling the new model year down assembly lines. According to MotoringFile, calibration testing for the six-speed manual is taking longer than expected. The outlet guesses the interruption will conclude by September, because it has "seen these type of delays in the past and they've lasted from 1-4 months." It has queried the brand's head of communication, who said, "As much as we at MINI USA would like to have a definitive timeline, it would be too early to say." The spokesman did, however, say that Mini remains committed to the manual gearbox. That comes in contrast to Toyota's recent breakdown of manual take-rates across a range of vehicle types, Hyundai jettisoning the manual on the 2020 Elantra, and stalwart enthusiast rides like the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and Chevrolet Corvette leaving the stick-shift fold. Nevertheless, Mini's efforts feel, at best, like raging against the dying of the light, especially because the end of the MF report states, "the other big news is that Mini USA is also eliminating the manual option from some models all-together." MF isn't yet certain about which models are affected, though. Buyers stepping up during the row-your-own intermission will get a crack at the long awaited seven-speed dual-clutch transmission or a revised eight-speed automatic. The DCT will slide into the Cooper and Coooper S models, the traditional automatic makes a home in the 301-horsepower John Cooper Works Clubman and Countryman.

Mini reveals new John Cooper Works concept ahead of Detroit

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

BMW effectively hit the reset button when it unveiled the new Mini at the LA Auto Show last month, opening the door to a whole raft of new variants to follow - and this is the first.
Set to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month is the new Mini John Cooper Works Concept, a show car that previews the next hot hatch from the Anglo-Saxon automaker. Mini isn't saying much about what makes it tick, focusing instead of the design that sets it apart from the standard version we've already seen.
This JCW concept features a lustrous grey paintjob with bright red accents, 18-inch alloys and an upgraded aero kit, all aimed at making the Mini look that much sportier. It's got bigger air intakes where the fog lights would be, LED headlamps, a black grille frame, side skirts, a rear bumper with diffuser insert and a roof-mounted spoiler.

BMW names new chief for Mini

Fri, Jan 23 2015

Mini is still transitioning models over to its new platform, and in the US market at least, the diminutive brand is dealing with a sales decrease of 15.6 percent in 2014. The low gas prices aren't helping either. But as of March 1, there's a new boss running the company across the world as Sebastian Mackensen (right) is promoted to the top spot from his current role as head of sales. Mackensen has been with Mini since October 2013, and according to Automotive News, before that he headed North and South American sales for Audi. Current brand boss, Jochen Goller is staying with BMW family and moving to China to take over as marketing chief for the BMW Brilliance joint venture. He had been the leader at Mini since 2013. Among several other personnel shifts, the BMW brand is also promoting Uwe Dreher to be its new head of marketing. He is currently in charge of those duties for the company in the Great Britain region. Personnel changes at MINI and BMW Group sales Munich . From 1 March 2015, Peter van Binsbergen will be Senior Vice-President, Sales and Marketing of BMW Group Germany. The 47-year-old mechanical engineer is currently Head of Sales and Marketing at the BMW Brilliance Joint Venture based in China. Mr van Binsbergen's career with the BMW Group began over 20 years ago when he assumed senior positions responsible for product planning, marketing and sales at BMW South Africa. He then moved to BMW Japan, where he was Director of Marketing, followed by a move to BMW Group headquarters in Munich, where he led the department responsible for sales channel development and the Group's "Future Retail" programme. Jochen Goller will move to China where he will take over an extended role with overall responsibility for Sales and Marketing at the BMW Brilliance Joint Venture in China. Mr Goller (48), who has headed up the MINI brand since 2013, already has experience when it comes to the Chinese market. During his 15-year career with the BMW Group, he was previously Head of Marketing at BMW China before returning to Europe, where he first took over responsibility for the MINI brand in Great Britain and Ireland ahead of moving to his current job. From 1 March 2015, Sebastian Mackensen will take on responsibility for the MINI brand. Mr Mackensen (43) joined the BMW Group in October 2013 as Head of MINI Sales.
