It seems a lot to me a 1993 Mini "British Open Classic" for both the tipical "British racing green metallic" paint and the canvas sun roof. |

Yes, it's a 1.3i British Open Classic, but it have after-market wheels: the design of the rims is like stock wheels, but width is different. |

I looked closely for British Open Classic as well but no gold logos on rear sides/boot nor gold coachline. UK BOC had black arches with no chrome trim but did have chrome door handle indents. So I don't think this is normal 1992 BOC, but have found references to a German-market-only reissue of BOC in 1996, though not for trim detail. |

In Italy the only Mini came on market in the 90s with canvas top roof was the 1.3i British Open Classic in August 1992. It was this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21924316@N02/2281790951/ I don't think it was possible to have a canvas top roof for other versions, but it actually handles, wheels and other parts do not match. Maybe it's very customized ![]() |

The other possibility which came in dark metallic green and had optional sunroof was German edition of 1999 Mini 40 - seems to have had different specs for different European countries. |

Would this conglomeration be helpful for your discussion? Link to "suchen.mobile.de" |

@ingo - thanks. Not sure yet - it's reasonably easy to get details of UK Mini editions, but not specials for markets outside UK. |

The're all non-UK-Minis in the link... |

Couldn't be a Classic 35 (aka 35th anniversary) with missing decals? http://digilander.libero.it/superdooper/miniguest40.html |

The linked ^ Classic 35 has black plastic arch extensions, not painted and blended in as here. 1996 British Open II still my preferred ID, although because our one may have been slightly tweaked, there are a few alternatives on the table. |
