They started running some new commercials here in Japan using classic minis. Here are the youtube links:

Hope you enjoy!

Nice, I'm not quite sure what they're selling but I'll buy one.

They seem to have been filmed in England, but the white Mini is clearly Japanese, I would have thought they could have sourced one locally? Unless its filmed in the British quarter of Tokyo...

Looks like they are selling apples that confuse policemen and pink rays that render children unconscious.. I'll have one of each please!!
The woody in the second advert looks like it's got a Dutch plate on it, also a nice selection of other British metal in there!! The vegetation in the gardens does not look very British though..

This is now on many billboards thru Milano, Italy....

The Mk1 replica look is very popular in Japan. The hinges are often plastic and non-functional.

the plates on the white cooper s replica? are kiwi plates so it looks like it was filmed here in NZ

Could be, the plants the the gardens in the second one could be NZ, and the white woody may have NZ plates too.
