Thanks Harley, I'll have to keep an eye out!

Mine spent 10 or so years sitting in a paddock at Pakenham.

Its a British colour obviously, whereas hairy lime was one of ours. I think it was "citron" a yellowy green.

If my memory's correct, the original mr.bean mini's were applejack green.

I often see two different colors for the mr bean minis.

Yellow (hint on lime) which is what was used in the tv series. And lime green. Where is the lime green from? The cartoon?

I am pretty sure they had the two different colours at different times during the tv series.

His first mini was orange, but that was destroyed. I think the yellow one, is really a yellowy green colour, aka 'snot green ('snot green and 'snot yellow).

Personally I think that having the Mini associated with the Character Mr Bean is A Total
Embarrassment.
He Is depicted as a Total Looser, Moron and Social Outcast who is totally Useless and Unemployable. FFS he can hardky Speak :!: :!: :!:
Why is there such enthusiasm. and what is the attraction of having this waste of space associated with the Mini????
As far as I am concerned any reference to this Bean Character and Minis should be dismissed and ignored at every opportinity :lol: :lol:

I know that all will not agree but I just thought I would puit it out there :lol: :lol: :lol:

I bought a moke a couple of weeks ago and i bought a rover mini yesterday and drove it back to sydney.
The paint on the rover is shocking because the previous owner(s) liked to take it in an automatic car wash so the clear coat is peeling all over the front.. I think it's a good excuse to paint it :)
It's a 1997 rover.

Sounds like he could be a League player.:lol:
Nevertheless I found his twin brother in Johnny English quite amusing in a
light hearted way, in a light hearted movie.

If the clear coat is fried it probably is a good excuse to paint it.

It's a bit more than the clear tbh.
It's oxidized the paint under it and its on the scuttle panel, both front wings and bonnet.
