Mr. Bean, one of the most beloved characters from the self-titled comedy series, is one of the most entertaining and well-loved characters by audiences around the world.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at Mr. Bean’s car, from its model and history to its specifications and current market value!
Mr. Bean’s car first appeared in the 1990 pilot episode, and it underwent several changes in both model and color.
Initially, the car that first appeared was orange, but it was eventually changed to a bright yellow or lime green color with a black hood, the version most people are familiar with today.
This color choice was intentional. The vibrant, contrasting colors gave the car a quirky yet easily recognizable appearance, perfectly aligning with Mr. Bean’s eccentric character.
As for the model, the car used is a Leyland Mini 1000, manufactured by British Leyland. This model was first launched in 1959 and was known for being a tough little vehicle, fuel-efficient, compact, and easy to maneuver.
Mr. Bean’s car is a 2-door sedan with a revolutionary design for its time. Its front-engine layout meant a compact engine space, and the entire car measures just 3.1 meters in length, 1.4 meters in width, and 1.3 meters in height.
Like many classic cars, the windows of the Leyland Mini 1000 are manually operated using a crank handle.
Under the hood, the Morris Mini is equipped with a BMC A-series engine, which has a capacity of 848 cc and a 4-cylinder inline OHV configuration.
Due to its compact size, the car also has a relatively small fuel tank capacity of only 25 liters.
As for its iconic exterior design, the Leyland Mini featured aerodynamic styling, a chrome-accented front grille, and large, round headlamps.
The lime green color used on Mr. Bean’s car is a custom paint job, not part of the original Leyland Mini 1000 factory color options, which makes it all the more unique and memorable.
Standard Leyland Mini 1000 models came in a variety of colors, such as gray, yellow, red, and blue.
Due to its classic and iconic design, Mr. Bean’s car is now highly sought after by vintage car collectors, which has driven its market price to impressive heights.
One of Mr. Bean’s cars was once sold at auction for USD 60.000 or around IDR 850 million due to high collector interest.
Current prices for Leyland Minis vary depending on the year of manufacture. For instance:
A 1972 Morris Mini can be found for around IDR 320 million.
A 1986 Morris Mini can sell for around IDR 420 million.
A rate 1989 Morris Mini Rover 30th Anniversary Edition, which only 15 units available in Indonesia is priced at around IDR 580 million.
That wraps up our discussion about the iconic Mr. Bean car, widely recognized for its distinctive color and unique design. Hope it helps!

Akibat dari pandemi, sebagian besar masyarakat mau tak mau harus berdiam diri di rumah. Kegiatan bekerja dan belajar pun dilakukan di kediaman masing-masing. Kelas online dan meeting online menjadi hal yang lumrah.
Aktivitas konsumsi pun bisa ikut terpengaruh. Tagihan listrik yang mungkin membengkak karena Anda harus rajin mengisi daya laptop dan ponsel. Biaya pulsa pun bertambah karena Anda harus berkomunikasi jarak jauh dengan rekan kerja.
Namun, Anda harus bijaksana dalam mengatur perubahan konsumsi agar kantong tetap aman selama dan sesudah pandemi COVID-19. Belum lagi beberapa perusahaan mulai mengurangi gaji bahkan jumlah karyawan karena terkena imbas dari wabah.
Hal yang harus Anda lakukan adalah mengenali pola konsumsi. Jika Anda sudah menghabiskan waktu beberapa minggu bekerja dari rumah, Anda akan menemukan pola konsumsi sehari-hari. Jika Anda baru mulai bekerja dari rumah, maka Anda perlu mencatat pengeluaran harian.
Setelah mengenali pola konsumsi harian, Anda bisa memilih pengeluaran mana yang bisa dikurangi dan dihemat, bahkan dialihkan. Contohnya, biaya transportasi bulanan Anda bisa disubsidi silang untuk membayar tagihan listrik dan pulsa. Jika Anda tinggal sendiri, maka ini saatnya Anda berhemat dengan membeli bahan makanan di pasar swalayan dan mencoba memasak sendiri.
Kunci utama dari mengelola keuangan Anda di tengah pandemic adalah berhemat dan menabung. Kita tidak pernah tahu bagaimana perkembangan dunia ke depan. Tak ada salahnya berhemat dan menyiapkan dana darurat. Atur prioritas keuangan Anda, lakukan penyesuaian, dan keluarkan uang untuk hal yang diperlukan saja.
Anda bisa menerapkan pola keuangan 50-30-20. 50% dari pendapatan Anda digunakan untuk membayar tagihan dan keperluan pokok seperti listrik, biaya kos, tagihan kartu kredit, dan belanja bulanan. Lalu, 30% dari gaji bisa Anda gunakan untuk membeli keperluan sekunder atau tersier. Terakhir, Anda wajib menyisihkan 20% untuk ditabung atau diinvestasikan. Namun, untuk masa sekarang ini, akan lebih bijak jika Anda memprioritaskan uang untuk ditabung daripada dibelanjakan untuk hal yang tak terlalu penting.
Langkah terakhir untuk menjaga keuangan tetap sehat selama pandemi adalah membuka usaha. Apalagi sebagian orang harus mengalami pengurangan gaji bahkan pemberhentian kerja sementara. Memang tak mudah untuk memulai usaha di tengah situasi sulit seperti ini. Namun, selama ada niat pasti ada jalan.
Anda bisa memulai dengan hal kecil seperti berjualan barang bekas yang masih layak dipakai. Coba periksa baju di lemari dan perabotan rumah Anda yang diam menganggur untuk dijual. Bagi Anda yang jago memasak, bisa juga mencoba untuk berjualan kue dan masakan rumah lainnya. Siapa yang tak ingin menyantap masakan rumah yang bersih, lezat, dan segar?
Semoga Anda dan keluarga sehat dan aman selalu. Anda, tim MyProtection, serta seluruh masyarakat dunia bersama-sama berjuang mengalahkan COVID-19. Putus rantai penyebaran virus dengan berdiam diri di rumah, rajin mencuci tangan dengan air dan sabun, gunakan masker saat bepergian, dan jaga jarak.
Salam,
Sahabat MyProtection
