Chip - If you haven't done so already, you should check out what Bad Obsession Motorsports has done with a Mini. Name of the series is "Project Binky" ... Not that it changes out the styling much, they just do some awesome re-engineering by making it an AWD. Flippin' awesome, to say the least.

Someone please get Mr. Foose to build his interpretation of a classic Mini.

[BrianSmart]

I like your work, but literally no classic Mini lover would ever do that.

[stelad]

He's reinvented the Austin Metro.

I haven't seen Foose since Boyd Coddington died and he looks exactly the same.

I approve of taking mr.beans daughter as my wife while driving this car

[sgavy]

I think chip needs to see one in reality to understand why its called a mini.

[silvermovermedia]

Brilliant illustrator, love to watch him work

[pebrain]

I can never get the lids off of my Chartpak markers. Nice Mini BTW :)

[WayneMacDonald]

I expect Rowan (Mr Bean) Atkinson would approve of this design...

[Onewheelordeal]

I dare anybody to with a Mini or M3 to measure their engine bay/powertrain and post it for me here.
I'd wager to say this is wishful thinking

As I watched the initial sketch, I thought you were doing a first gen Fiat Panda!

People wonder why the Mini is such a icon to us Brits - heres a clue - in 1958 John Cooper organised a race from the UK to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza between his tuned Mini and an Aston Martin DB4. The Mini won by a hour. They are fantastic little go-karts - and if Chip thinks he can put on a better wheel than the original Mag Alloy Minilites he's sadly mistaken.

Looks like a cross between a reliant kitten and an old mini metro 🤔

[arronjones]

Normally like chips work but this is rediculas 🤦🏻‍♂️

[michelblanc]

Cool ! Really cool, as always. If you have decided to reinterpret European icons (here the brilliant Mini Britanique), why not a Citroën ? Maybe a 15 Traction, or an SM, or even a 2cv !

[Retrofordguy]

No offence chip it looks goofy the original mini is hard to improve on because of its timeless design bmw did an OK job of modernisation but has started to forget what made mini appealing a small well engineered and easy to drive car that just about anybody could drive with its perky A SERIES engine and its short and nimble kart like handling it became a cultural icon if you look at an original the roof look squatty towards the rear and has extremely small overhangs with wheels being right in the 4 corners it made driving it a breeze.

Sorry rant over being from UK and mini being a British marque ide say the mini is perfect in each and every way

[robvanza]

I love it! If I win the Euro millions we are going to build all the cars in this series!! Might be broke afterwards, but who cares!!

[pixelgraphica]

You are so talented!! Years of hard work, but with a gift!! 👏👏👏 I would love to see you do a Mercedes 190 SL ... with a W16... 🙂

[beauxguidry]

I would like to all of his designs in real life.
