Too recent to be an Austin ! This is a late-90's version, sold by Rover but with only "Mini Cooper" badges. In which brand will it be categorised ? |

I suggest to list it as a Rover. In the 1997-1998 edition of the French magazine "Toutes les voitures du monde" it was listed as a Rover. We would have to check if it was also sold under that make in other countries... -- Last edit: 2005-12-03 22:14:06 |

It was. The Austin name had been dropped since around 1990. |

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001). In Laura Croft's garage there are a bunch of exotic cars and bikes - including a Mini. Regrettably, they all get crushed when the house is trashed by the bad guys. |

Hi The Mini in the Tomb Raider film is a '2000 Rover Mini Cooper LE.' The mini that was crushed was its stunt double...as I can assure you the original is tucked up safe and sound in my garage. I will be taking her to the London to Brighton mini run on the 20th May. -- Last edit: 2007-05-17 17:29:34 |

The car on the main picture is indeed a stunt-double, because unlike the real one - seen on the Lotus M250 page - it has no front badge. Should we create another page, or simply list this as the 2000 Rover Mini John Cooper Works? Anyways, ![]() -- Last edit: 2017-02-15 18:54:33 (walter) |

The stunt double is an older Mini (City, 1000HL; no tints so not Mayfair, but could also have been a cheaper special edition) with smaller 1980s mirrors as well as the missing badge. The dressing-up obscures any identifiable clues so it could not get a useful ID so no point in a new page The genuine W76 KAB from the M250 page ![]() |
