Paul Smith – BMW Mini
The best historical take over was when BMW bought Mini. To celebrate it’s 40th anniversary in 1999 they teamed up with British designer, Sir Paul Smith to put his 86 multicoloured stripes to the exteriors of a mini, which is currently in a museum. If you are after a roadgoing model that’s painted an electric blue with contrasting lime green, details in the glovebox’s interior and engine’s rocker, all specified thanks to Sir Paul Smith himself.
