I'm a huge MINI collector and have much of my collection on my Library of Motoring website. Today I received my first MINI Coupe collectible: a German MINI Coupé brochure from my friend Christian at MINI Center Krefeld.



You can read the details at Collectibles: German MINI Coupé brochure [2012].

 

Dealerships now have a limited supply of MINI Coupe brochures. I picked up one today.



You can read the details at MINI Coupe brochure.

 

Picked mine up today also, nothing new but will add it to my GP stuff.

 

The marketing campaign for the MINI Coupe includes a contest to describe THE BEST TEST DRIVE EVER. PERIOD. You can enter the contest by filling out one of these postcards and submitting it to your dealership.

The first MINI Coupe print ad is available. The November 2011 issue of Car and Driver has an ad on page 43. It features a LB/S (with stripes) MCS Coupe.



NO BACKSEAT DRIVERS.

Action packed with a six-speed transmission, MacPherson suspension and a 181-horsepower turbocharged engine, this Cooper S two-seater leaves no room for anyone to tell you to slow down. In fact, when you hit 50 MPH, the rear spoiler automatically raises for better downforce, practically begging you to go even faster.

THE NEW MINI COUPE. HOLD ON.

 

The second ad can be found in the November issue of Road & Track on the back cover and Motor Trend on page 77.



SATISFY YOUR SPEED TOOTH.

Action packed with a six-speed manual transmission, MacPherson suspension and a road-devouring 208-horsepower engine, this John Cooper Works two-seater lets you feed your craving for speed. And when you hit 50 MPH, the rear spoiler automatically raises for better downforce, begging you to go even faster in the fastest MINI yet. THE NEW MINI COUPE. HOLD ON.

Hi James,

Since you (obviously) seem to collect MINI paraphernalia... I have a bunch of mystery MINI packages that have been sent to us over the years by MINI USA. Most of it is unopened, but from the couple of boxes that we have opened, it appears to be just a bunch of MINI collectable bling as far as I can tell. If you have any interest in it, send me a PM and I'll gladly give it all to you for whatever the shipping cost is. It has been cluttering up my closet for years now and I'm getting tempted to just trash it all at any moment.

 

Sure, I'm interested. Look for a PM.
