Berlin trip, Dec 2007 - MINI by BMW

BMW is the parent company of the MINI and for some reason, I thought that the MINI has always been Deustche!

Not so, apparently. It used to be made by Rover and it was the most popular British-made car ever.

We walked past a MINI showroom on our way to Checkpoint Charlie. SP wants to check whether Valerie can fit into the car so we went in for a visit. We worked out that we NEED a Cooper S.


A MINI mounted on the wall. The flag of Berlin is showed on top of the car. Berlin Bear has been continuously used as emblem on the sigillum seal of Berlin from 1280.


The showroom also stocked a range of MINI merchandise. I saw some people parting with a good amount of their money for MINI T-shirts!!! Here is a toy MINI (in yellow) in front of a real MINI.
