Tiger Aspect Productions Mini 'Mr. Bean'

About this model

There are few cars that are as perfect for their owners as the classic Mini is for Mr. Bean. On TV and in films, the two have been together through many memorable adventures.

The reasons the Mini became such an essential element of the series are twofold. Firstly, Rowan Atkinson is a well-known car fanatic. As well as having owned many supercars, he participated in original races, and also has a truck driving licence. It is unsurprising, then, that he always wanted to make Mr. Bean’s car an important part of the show. Secondly, Mr. Bean began as a stage character, virtually free of any props, so the thought of having more tools to play with was an important part of the development of the series. Apparently, Atkinson chose the Mini and the colours himself, because of the car’s inherently funny nature, and because he had learned to drive in his mother’s Morris Minor as a young man. He chose the colour because he wanted Mr. Bean’s car to be painted a colour that he would never choose himself.

Note: This is just for cars that were used in the TV show, NOT spin-offs, live action events or movies
