Despite often being referred to as a "Mini Cooper S," Mr. Bean's car was actually the standard, modest 998cc base model producing just 39 horsepower. Key Specifications & Features • Engine & Performance. The car was powered by a 998cc four-cylinder A-Series engine delivering 39 bhp, making it a humble city car rather than a sporty Cooper. • Signature Security. Mr. Bean famously secured the car using a heavy-duty padlock and latch bolted onto the outside of the driver's door, alongside a removable steering wheel that he carried with him. • The Rooftop Stunt. For the famous "Do-It-Yourself" episode, the production team built a specially modified stunt Mini. While Rowan Atkinson genuinely sat strapped into the rooftop armchair, a stunt driver lay hidden inside the car on the floor, steering via a secondary wheel while watching the road on a small closed-circuit monitor. History & Fate of the Filming Cars • Multiple Cars Used. Although the show presented it as a single vehicle, the production crew actually used at least three identical-looking Citron Green Minis bearing the SLW 287R plate during filming (following an earlier orange 1969 BMC Mini MK II in the pilot episode). • Crushed by a Tank. In the episode "Back to School Mr. Bean," an engineless shell painted to match SLW 287R was famously flattened by a Chieftain battle tank after Mr. Bean swapped parking spots. • Where It Is Today. The primary hero car (SLW 287R) survived filming and was later rescued from neglect and fully restored to running condition. It is currently owned by a private collector in the UK, while the specially modified rooftop-driving stunt car is preserved and displayed by BMW Group Classic.
