Mini Beachcomber Concept gets green light for production

When the Moke a.k.a. Beachcomber Concept was revealed at the Detroit Motor Show in January, it was such a hit that MINI really had no other choice but to make it go into production.

The Moke was intended to show off the new Countryman crossover but the stripped-down Beachcomber made such a big splash at the Detroit show. Dr Wolfgang Armbrecht, Head of brand management, said that MINI was overwhelmed by the public’s reaction and so they proceeded to figure out a business basis. He also said that the Beachcomber was based on the road-ready version of the Countryman.

I have the beachcomber as my desk top.Every time I look at it,I want even more. I have even started a money jug out of a water bottle that I put change in. I would like to see sliding doors on both sides for the family man like me who would use it fore travel and work. Also touch 4 wheel drive. I have that in my truck.You don't use as much gas as all 4 wheel drive. Cheers Mrmick
