Look what MINI has given the Porsche 911 as a Golden Jubilee gift – a bundle of very yellow art in the shape of a photoshoot involving a classic 911 Targa 2.4 and a Mini 1000. MINI hails the birthday boy as “the flag-bearer of the German sports car fraternity” – we’re not sure it’d be as kind if it were still British-owned.
Still, the photoshoot displays some lovely contrasts between the two 1960s icons – apart from the fact that one is a sports car; the other a practical small car, their engines sit at opposing ends of the vehicle, feeding power to opposing axles.
MINI also mentions a couple of striking similarities between itself and Porsche. Both brands boldly broke away from tradition – one by switching to water cooling; the other with the extra emphasis on comfort and luxury. And lest we forget, both brands now make SUVs.
See the results of the photoshoot after the jump – there’s some serious bedroom wall material there.

That mini looks almost exactly like mr bean’s mini without the black hood
I wonder if Porsche will do the same for mini?
Have this 911 decked out in Mr.Bean style colour theme (with the Mini in Mr. Bean’s colour theme of course) and get some pics together.
Throw in Mr. Beam himself in a couple of the shots and I’ll bet it’ll be an awesome occurrence.
nicely done.. i doubt perodua will do the same to proton
if proton ever celebrates its birthday.. perodua would probably say.. “haiiyaa still not dead ahh..?”
Correction.
I doubt any car maker or their distributors here will even have other makes mentioned in any kind of commercial
icon meet icon…an icon always inspires others
Cool…
Happy Birthday…
and both have become overweight and really expensive.
