Hildebrand im Interview zum Beachcomber Concept und ähnlichen Sondermodellen:

"In principle, the MINI Crossover Concept, and now the MINI Beachcomber Concept, Roadster and Coupe as well, certainly do have historical predecessors. Many people don't know that MINI wasn't merely a product, but an entire label with Riley, Wolseley, Austin and Morris as brands, and with pickups, vans and Mokes as derivatives. If you look closely at history, you could theoretically make a MINI out of every vehicle concept, because it has already been done before. Despite this, we know that for the MINI community, the roots of the brand are still represented by the original - the MINI launched in 1959."
