Mini Beachcomber concept – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nMini<\/a> is reportedly seriously considering creating a production version of the Beachcomber concept that debuted at this year’s Detroit Auto Show<\/a>. The Beachcomber was produced as a Mini Moke<\/a>-inspired preview of the Countryman<\/a> crossover that debuted in Geneva<\/a>, but the concept left the doors and roof behind to create what looked like the offspring of a Jeep Wrangler<\/a> and the iconic British small car. <\/p>\n

Mini SVP for brand management Dr. Wolfgang Armbrecht acknowledged that the response to the concept was so strong that BMW<\/a> is now looking at the business case for this open-sided variant. If Mini does proceed with the Moke\/Beachcomber that would bring the lineup to seven models, including the upcoming coupe and roadster variants. A production version would probably come with removable doors and a folding fabric roof. We wouldn’t expect to see this one appear until at least 2012 or 2013 at the earliest, if then, but in the meantime, make the jump<\/a> to see Dr. Armbrecht and designer Gert Hildebrand discuss the Beachcomber concept.<\/p>\n
