Kate, the carburator Cooper

This is Kate, a 1991 Carburator Cooper with a very funny history.

Originally this car was bought by the Porsche AG which gave the car away as a raffle prize in 1991 during the Porsche Cup race in Hockenheim / Germany.

To promote a new color to the market, the Mini (1st prize) was painted from new in "Sternrubinrot" which was pink to violet, GRRRRRRRRR. This 2K Acrylic paint made Kate less sensitive for rust issues. The car is 3rd hand and stood most of its time so that kilometers are very less. In 2008 Frank bought the car and restored it to a high standard. Car color is now Mercedes "Cuprit-brown". In combination with the cream interior, the car is definitely an eyecatcher which is mostly driven by Therese.
