Watch me drown: I say it's a Mini, specifically a "British Open Classic", 1992+. And now I wait for @dsl to tell me what it actually is. |

No need - you can carry on floating. Agree British Open Classic edition (colour, roof, interior) with a couple of comments. We've been round the houses a few times whether Classic was actually part of the name - different sources/markets say various things - and there's a secondary issue whether they ever called them British for UK cars. Outcome was to keep to British Open for everywhere to avoid collective insanity. The other point was some European markets got a relaunch in 1996 as British Open II with Germany a particular focus; given the film date and the beige interior, I'd go for this sequel here - see others in our collection for identical combinations. -- Last edit: 2020-03-25 18:06:16 |

“British Open Classic” - still a terrible pun... |

^ There was a tennis theme for its initial marketing - launched June 92 in time for Wimbledon. |

fine by me, the car is British, you can Open the roof and the Mini is a Classic..  |

That's exactly what I meant - I knew that the British Open was a tennis event, and I thought the name was a really bad pun based on the car's sliding roof. |

Ah, cool.  And thanks for the nerve-recharging sound!If that helps for future German ones: In the mid-1990s I still collected brochures and once bought a full set of then current Rover brochures at the local Rover dealer (after he had sung me an extensive aria about how expensive they were and why I couldn't get these promotional folders for free and #blah - the brochures, not the Rovers!) A "British Open" was part of that set and I'm pretty sure it didn't read "Classic" on the cover - just "British Open". Can be checked if necessary, but I store that collection at home, not here where I'm now. |
