The Mini Beachcomber, revealed at this year’s Detroit Auto Show, will actually make it to production. The Concept was built to only to preview the Countryman Crossover, but the Beachcomber turned out to be a great success and so onward it goes.
The Beachcomber Concept also gave up two doors to pay tribute to the original Mini beach buggy, the Moke. The original Moke was built between 1964 to 1993. The Beachcomber has a metal, body-colored grille, only this time the designers have inserted driving lights.
Off-road ability is enhanced by higher ground clearance than the Countryman, as well as chunky tires. Plus, the new ALL4 four-wheel-drive system is likely to be included as standard.
The production version of the Beachcomber will have almost no competitors on the market and as for its name Mini said the company needs original names.
