Achtung, #Plüschie in #Berlin #vermisst! Gesucht wird „Mini“, ein 12cm kleiner #Teddy mit gelbem Strampler. #Mini begleitet ihren Menschen seit 30 Jahren und war das letzte Geschenk seiner Mutter, die kurz darauf starb. Mini wurde am 3. Juni aus dem Café #Einstein Unter den Linden mit einer schwarzen Louis-Vuitton-Tasche gestohlen, in der sie saß. Der Besitzer ist verzweifelt und bietet 1000 Euro #Finderlohn, wenn Mini zurückkommt. Bitte Boost, vllt. können wir helfen.

RP ONLINE · Teddy verzweifelt gesucht: 1.000 Euro für „Mini“ ausgesetztBy Lisa Pauli

Yesterday’s Paul Smith special edition concentrated on the aesthetics but today’s Mini is all about performance. The 1989 ERA Mini Turbo used a turbocharged MG Metro engine and a host of other mechanical and body mods that made it the fastest Mini ever sold through official dealership channels - although the upgrades were carried out by the former English Racing Automobiles, famous for its 1940s/50s race cars. Snapped: British Motor Museum, 2025.

Yesterday’s rebodied Innocenti Mini presented Leyland with a ready-made modern replacement for the 1959 car, an opportunity that was not fully exploited. But there was plenty of life left in the British original, which continued for another quarter century, boosted by special editions such as this luxurious leather trimmed lapis lazuli blue version, a collaboration with the fashion designer Paul Smith. Snapped: The Great British Car Journey.

Although yesterday’s C Coupé was an example of Innocenti completely rebodying a car from its British partner BMC, later British Leyland, for the most of the sixties and into the early seventies, the Italian company built fairly standard versions of the Mini, 1100/1300 and Allegro, albeit with a few interesting refinements. The next full rebodying exercise came with this, the Innocenti Mini hatchback, in 1974. Snapped at #FOTU 2024.
