The Mini Beachcomber concept and Mini's U.S. boss, Jim McDowell.
There’s more than a faint resemblance between the new Mini Beachcomber concept vehicle and a classic dune buggy.
The show car is missing a roof and the removable doors are little more than frames. So, it takes a little imagination to recognize that Beachcomber is the starting point upon which a variety of future products could be built by the British brand, says Jim McDowell, head of Mini’s U.S. subsidiary.

“You can assume Beachcomber has a lot in common with the crossover we have coming,” suggests McDowell, during a conversation on the automaker’s stand at the 2010 North American International Auto Show. And, he adds, “even more things” could follow, sharing the new platform, “a lot of fun products you could make.”
