Mini with Union Jack on roof

[madazrx7]

A customer just showed me pics of his Mini he sold in England before coming to Perth. A very cool Cooper S (think he said it was a '99, 40th anniversary special) complete with a half-mini trailer, in Brooklands Green and Union Jack on the roof.

He said he sold it to an enthusiast, anyone on here?

There are hundreds and hundreds of minis with union jacks on the roof...

Blimey! Nothing for 5 months then a reply within a micrsecond of me bumping it

Oh, I thought it was unusual. Is there some significance in the flag on the roof of a Mini?

or look here www.boyracersigns.co.uk/miniroofgraphics.htm

Not treally any significance - Union flags are popular, as are checkered flags (have that on mine) and a variety of other ones.

Errr, maybe it's something to do with the Mini being British Made!

The roof being nice and rectangular & flat helps!

National pride and all that! The trend has also been carried forwards to the 'New' BMW Mini.

I saw a new shape Honda Civic the other day with a union jack cloaking the entire car - looked awesome, but not as good as a local Mini CooperS (BMW) that also has a jack covering the whole car. But the best one simply has to be the Jaguar on Austin Powers!

Very patriotic!
