Someone please get Mr. Foose to build his interpretation of a classic Mini.
I agree brilliant idea of merging the M3 with the Mini needs to become reality.
in all his videos, he mentions to "let's have some fun with it" which reminds me so much of Bob Ross' mentality when painting. love it.
Chip - If you haven't done so already, you should check out what Bad Obsession Motorsports has done with a Mini. Name of the series is "Project Binky" ... Not that it changes out the styling much, they just do some awesome re-engineering by making it an AWD. Flippin' awesome, to say the least.
And fun to watch......
And brackets. Don't forget the brackets.
@@ShamWerks Get the funk out
@@jasonoxley6125 lemme put the kettle on first.
Yes. I saw this
People wonder why the Mini is such a icon to us Brits - heres a clue - in 1958 John Cooper organised a race from the UK to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza between his tuned Mini and an Aston Martin DB4. The Mini won by a hour. They are fantastic little go-karts - and if Chip thinks he can put on a better wheel than the original Mag Alloy Minilites he's sadly mistaken.
Can I get a source on that?
As far as I know, the mini wasn't introduced until 1959, and John only got his hands on one after that.
I like your work, but literally no classic Mini lover would ever do that.
Mighty Car Mods.
@@sixfootbear No, MCM didn't do anything like that to a Mini.
@@nickturner2813 MCM put a Honda V-tech engine into theirs.Bad Obsession Motorsport are putting a full 4x4 system into theirs with a flip front that is a thing of beauty.
His designers aren't for purists or lovers of the standard car even. They're for the idealist car lover who enjoys seeing what if's.
Mini's are the worlds' most customised car. If any car was acceptable to be customised by purists, its the mini.
From memory, standard wheels on a 60’s Mini were 10 or 11”, so 15’s would be huge - to even fit them you’d be looking at major surgery, but it would look AWESOME!!! Love your work, Mr Foose!!! : )
I just love watching him work. You don't have to personally love/want his redesigns, you just have to respect his work and how he constructs his ideas.
As a casual car drawer myself, I really love Fooses work.
I really like the position of the rear wheels of the original Mini. You brought them little bit too front.
Also I think that maybe You could have done BMW "Kidney grille" out of the original Mini grille.
Brilliant illustrator, love to watch him work
Can you guys PLEASE have Chip do a couple episodes like this PER WEEK!! I know juss like all of the other viewers, that we ALL really enjoy watching Chip draw his renderings of different automobiles!
Chip drawing is nice but I like those old Minis just like they are.
I love it! If I win the Euro millions we are going to build all the cars in this series!! Might be broke afterwards, but who cares!!
Chip doing his thing. The best at it!! Would love to see him bringing this Mini3 to life, utilizing the E30 as influence!!
Love the music they play during his drawings. If..... I was a billionaire, I would hire Chip to assemble a hand picked team to build one of every car from his drawings since this vlog started. What an incredible collection of one-offs it would be.
Mr. Foose is a BMW Fan. I like it👍
Mr.Foose I love to watch you work
I haven't seen Foose since Boyd Coddington died and he looks exactly the same.
He's reinvented the Austin Metro.
As I watched the initial sketch, I thought you were doing a first gen Fiat Panda!
I love how chip always has some sort of idea in his head like see where I come from I need inspiration............all he needs is a pencil and some paper and a clear mind and he’s set I CANT THINK LIKE THAT 😂😂
That's what I call a nice little twist to a British classic especially in the hands of the master of chip foose I wonder if he could do a drawing of a Škoda Estelle or a Rapid now that would be awesome.
i have a 1976 mk3 mini RHD and i would love to have it just like that.
I expect Rowan (Mr Bean) Atkinson would approve of this design...
That yellow mini you're using as a reference is mine 😅
That’s so sweet. Someone needs to build it.
Can’t wait to see this built ....
Thanks, Hagerty, for this series. I like Chip's sense of style and design. And the smooth jazz soundtrack is really cool. Keep up the good work.
I approve of taking mr.beans daughter as my wife while driving this car
The amount of hate that Chip gets just boggles my mind! He doesn't need to justify his work - his countless hotrod awards (including multiple Riddler awards) speaks for itself!
Chip from a styling and creative standpoint is at the top of his field and is easily in the same league as the best car designers from anywhere around the world. Keep doing what you do Chip - that Mini/M3 is awesome! I'd sooner drive one of those then the current hideous catfish-frog Coopers from BMW.
I envy Chip for not eating his crayons as a child.
I owned a 1984 Austin Mini when I was stationed in Germany back in ‘94-‘97. It was a blast to drive. Like driving a go kart on the highway!
The video editing is so cool but for the ones who want to learn, it would be better if the next video has a steady camera from top view to follow along. Thanks
Да, помню те времена когда чип был ключевой фигурой в передачи Крутой Тюнинг, хорошие были времена... Правда в шоу больше болтали чем делали)), по этому я постоянно перематывал моменты разговоров. В общем Чип молодец, шикарно рисует!
I dare anybody to with a Mini or M3 to measure their engine bay/powertrain and post it for me here.
I'd wager to say this is wishful thinking
@@BubbaSmurft What about doing this with a modern Mini? I think a project like this would work better as a modern Mini but with an entire body restyling to make it look classic, rather than trying to shoehorn everything into a classic Mini. Honestly, giving a modern Mini a classic look would be more unique than yet another classic Mini project, with yet another engine swap.
@@BubbaSmurft I was going to comment that this car would be a two seater, with the firewall etc all moved back to accomodate the M3 engine/transmission tunnel etc.
How about M3 engine behind front seats. Engine in the back has been done before. Not sure if M3 engine would fit. Maybe early 4 cylinder generation M3 engine would be best.
Classic Mini and BMW Mini use transverse engine layout and off course FWD. This creation looks hideous. Looks like a Fiat 127 or Autobianchi.
The Mini stayed in production for over 40yrs with the basic shape unchanged. That's why is was such a good design. Build quality is another conversation.
I don't think Chip realises quite how small a Mini is. The BMW Mini is miles bigger than the original one. Chopping the roof & big wheel simply wouldn't work. You could fit a bigger engine if the nose was extended - I have seen a Jag V12 Mini, but the nose was as long as the rest of the car!
Okay, here is one for Mr Foose. The Mini Moke! What can he do to a car that is about as minimalist as you can get. Beloved by newsagents in Australia, as there was no namby-pamby bodywork to get in the road of throwing the newspapers out of either side of the car. I will begrudgingly allow the roll bar because, like most people, I am not a complete idiot. The original Californian version was a bit deluxe. I can't believe they have made an all electric version for the US market, or more to the point, how can it pass any of the safety regs? Side impact? It doesn't have a side!
Looks like a cross between a reliant kitten and an old mini metro 🤔
Beautiful concept Mr. Foose.
Hagerty should supply Chip with a early mini shell and a 2000 + M3 and get him to build it. I'm sure if he joined the engine and trans straight the diiff , deleting the drive shaft and narrow the suspention by about 20 inches or so , it could work. Maybe next he could fit a Hellcats drivetrain into a 1960's FIAT 500.
WATCH - PROJECT BINKY!
(mic drop)
Bad Obsession Motorsport is probably the closest to achieve something like this. They are still building a classic Mini with a Toyota Celica 4WD drivetrain. Something like this would probably need thousands of tea cups, dozends of angle grinders and probably 30 years.
Personally I think this design would really suit a Mini Clubman Classic more than the rounded nose. Wonderful artistry as always 👍🏻
I can never get the lids off of my Chartpak markers. Nice Mini BTW :)
I think chip needs to see one in reality to understand why its called a mini.
Adapting a modern Mini to have the classic styling would work better for Chip's concept. Something like this would be so much better working backwards from what's modern, rather than working forwards from what's classic.
Yea id like to see him try and get 15 inch wheels on it :)
Ξανδρος Peaches agree 100%
You think he haven't seen one?! Lol.
@@slumpsg1901 pretty easy
Master at work 🔥
Yo chip what that hand do cuh!😆
I need the name of the jam playing. I could listen to that all day.
Hit a home run with this one! I would think 15" would be right for wheels but...who knows...maybe even 16" be good:) Heck I would be seriously tempted to buy one myself if it was your design.
Seriously?? 16” would be taller than the roof! You’ve obviously never seen an original mini let alone owned one.
@@marsh1707 15" to 16" rims with short sidewall tires and opened up wheel wells. I jus helped a guy race one is all and guess what! 15" rims.
That C pillar design killed all the essence of the original mini. Rear overhang is too big as well. Minis are known for having the wheels almost on the corners and short overhangs. The final drawing is perfectly executed, since Foose is a master, but the design overall just seems wrong.
In the back it looks like the Autobianchi type of small cars.
Bought the MIni Cooper Countryman with all wheel drive its a very fun car.
So this is "what if a M3 is available in hatchback form", this would come into mind🤣
Cool ! Really cool, as always. If you have decided to reinterpret European icons (here the brilliant Mini Britanique), why not a Citroën ? Maybe a 15 Traction, or an SM, or even a 2cv !
Yeah, it would be a mean little ride! Good one Chip.
I typically like Chips redesigns but this looks like a Dodge Omni with a Mini grill and big wheels.
If I'm learning anything from this series, it's nice wheels and stance get you 80% to a sexy car. The rest is in the details.
wow foose ohhh woww this is amazing art work my friend love does wheels that bumpets really nice how chip chop this cars make them so uniq clean really amazing art work jesus crist my goodness
I had an ' 81 Mini and later an '84 BMW 318. I Aways thought it would be cool to combine the two. The Mini was an '81 but the technology was '56. Always breaking down. No brakes no clutch. The front subframe was attached by 4 little bolts which would loosen and cut the exhaust.....
Chip is the car design expert I don’t think there is a design I’ve seen from his side of things that don’t compliment my eyeballs in some way 😂
I love it. Looks beyond cool. Somenone should ask Chip to build this car for them.
5 months too late but ... The seams are how structural rigidity was accomplished without taking away interior space.
She's a beauty! I'd love to see it built.
You should turn it into a mini 55 nomad
Front look more like corvette C1 style than mini 😆
The idea of a bodybuilding the mini is cool. But I can’t really recognize the mini there. Could be a MG or other model 😂
Hey Chip, the original BMC Mini had 10" wheels...
BubbaSmurft the car is only 10’ long buddy
BubbaSmurft won’t have to look far there’s one in my garage. I misread your comment, my apologies
The fact that this car doesn’t exist is a tragedy.
There are minis and there are binis and never shall they meet😎
Foose is da man!!!
Excelente artista👍
rear wheel drive, mini!!
Yall selling these drawings?? This one is gorgeous
it looks like the A112
Hi Chip. If you Google "Mini -Sprint " or Radford Mini . You'll see some specialist design changes that were popular in the '60's . The Beatles, Peter Sellers, Twiggy, even our Royalty all had Mini's in the 1960's.Even Clint Eastwood has one ( a Countryman, you call them Woodies ) If you have never driven an original mini they are terrific fun , very low and with the 10inch wheels are a hoot in corners! However , if you were to drive the modern BMW minis they are a different ball game !! The new generation have over 200bhp available and top out at 130mph +. The original at best 75 bhp and 100mph downhill ! But for me much more fun ! Thanks Chip.
I would drive the HELL out of this! Really nice re-imagination!
Hi Chip, I would love to see what you would do with the Rover P5 Coupe.
SICK!
I would like to all of his designs in real life.
Issigonis got the original pretty close to perfect for his time and Chip you did a great job of making it better. Another Issigonis car I would like to see you do is the Morris Minor.....please!
No offence chip it looks goofy the original mini is hard to improve on because of its timeless design bmw did an OK job of modernisation but has started to forget what made mini appealing a small well engineered and easy to drive car that just about anybody could drive with its perky A SERIES engine and its short and nimble kart like handling it became a cultural icon if you look at an original the roof look squatty towards the rear and has extremely small overhangs with wheels being right in the 4 corners it made driving it a breeze.
Sorry rant over being from UK and mini being a British marque ide say the mini is perfect in each and every way
@Daver G they are getting bigger and uglier the first rebirth model was perfectly designed now lights are getting so big they look plastered on like last thoughts and don't get me started on that monstrosity they call the countryman I know they have to change the size due to modern safety standards but nowerdays minis are not proportioned correctly like I said overall design is good however parts look like giant warts now
Normally like chips work but this is rediculas 🤦🏻♂️
You are so talented!! Years of hard work, but with a gift!! 👏👏👏 I would love to see you do a Mercedes 190 SL ... with a W16... 🙂
I like it.
The M2 or M1 might be the better option for an engine / chassis swap. But I think it won't be possible either, but a Honda B15 engine will fit with a special subframe up front plus some bulk head cut and shutting done. See MCM mini /Honda swap and how fast it goes but can get expensive. The deseaming of a mini is very hard to do, because it has to be done either an 1" or 2 inches at a time by a proficient welder/ fabricator. Had minis in the family from a couple of early push button on the floor for starting. Plus a mini 1000 + 1100 Cooper box Peco exhaust. Then a 1275 GT with webasto sunroof but as rusty as feck, but was fast also. Then a mini ritz, and a mini 35. So had almost one of everything. But the ones I like are the 60s broads pee'd coupe'd cars and the mini sprint cut n shut shell. But also the rare Ogle coupe. But what's with chrome strip a third of the way up? Don't get the mods for the front or that the c pillar is too wide, the windows are closer to the rear of the car.
This is what I would daily if I could
Looks great...🤔
Hey Chip! Want to really make a car? Make a self charging electric car. Kids are doing it with go-carts. Or better yet a Troy Reed magnetic motor car or truck. You make great looking cars. Now this really would be great.
Brilliant vison
Does anyone know the name of the 5-spoke wheel behind him?
i would add surf board on top or like wood side fenders
Cut down the Top from the front & headlights a lil bigger ✅
I would love to see his sketches draw in an isometric view.
I only subbed to Hagerty for your videos tbh. You should make your own channel with designs and ideas, I'd watch. I just don't get people commenting about how it's this or that negatively due to purist mentality as if they don't/cannot grasp your work is for the what if and then taking it further/beyond the limits of its time or whatever it be. To make something unique. Not something that is the standard.
Bad Obsession Motor Sports: Project Binky
Pensé que le iba a poner la facia del E46
I like the idea. The drawing Chip has done is great apart from the rear doesn't look quite so mini like .... just my opinion 😕
Chip, I love your work. BUT seriously, you know nothing about the original mini! It’s a very small cheap run around. That came with 10” wheels, and you want to put 18”s on ha ha ha ha ha Stick to American cars. Please
Man this guy looks same. Never ages
Needs three-tone paint work, but overall its classy re-design.
Chip Foose, I would gladly donate my 94 Rover Mini for your experiment. I've been wanting to post on all of your videos asking to see what you would do with a Classic Mini as a base. I'm located in Kansas but I'll drive out to wherever you would need me to. Best part is that it's a 94 so it's not like you'd be modifying anything worth a lot of money.
Can we please make one of these
