There were two at the IMM in 2009.

the BMW owned one



and this one




But the rarest and the best of all has to be the Broadspeed GT

that broadspeed is saweet!
the wild goose aint bad either!

[Black.Ghost]

id say either between the prototype, the first production mini or the 1millionth mini

It's not the 1 millionth! There are two of those. In Mini Mag this month, apparently there is a possibility that the car that has been masquearding as the 1 millionth isn't, and it is in a fact a red Morris. Investigation on-going, but this red one has turned up in the Netherlands apparently with evidence to suggest it really is the 1 millionth. We shall see.

The first Limited Edition only came in two colours Green or White

[STRIPEY]

Not sure if a one off can be rare in the true sense of the word ! . Surely it must a production run and gradually over time they are dismantled, crashed beyond repair .......rust out . When a car is altered from the manufacturers spec it is unique but can not be called rare in my opinion.

[MaxAndPaddy]

Unless altered by John Cooper ...then its allowed

[STRIPEY]

Unfortunately you're all so right.

I'd say the 1961/62 Mini Super is pretty rare as those that did survive the ravages of time got turned into Coopers or were ripped apart to restore a Cooper since the Mini Super shared the same trim levels.

But some Mini Limited Editions must be getting pretty rare now, like say the 1976 Mini 1000 LE with the stripy trim?

I love the 'Stripey'...there was one up for sale on ebay last year and I was tempted

[STRIPEY]

This is that car I bought it for my son 16 at the time now 17 for his first car and to learn to drive in( not the easiest car to drive ! ) But I love it and drive it more and more .

[MaxAndPaddy]

Too good for a 17 year old ...get him a City/Mayfair and look after Stripey!!

[Sam14]

The pre production minis. The orginal planned looked minis.???

Broadspeed made a total of 21 GTs in 1965.

Here' another example spotted at the IMM in 2009
