MINI apprentices build Paceman-based pickup

April 27, 2014
Young apprentices working at BMW’s Munich and Dingolfing factories have teamed up with their instructors to create a two-seater pickup based on the Paceman crossover.

Called Paceman Adventure, the pickup is mostly identical to the regular Paceman from the tip of the front bumper to the B-pillar. Beyond that, the crossover’s steeply sloping roof has been chopped off and the passenger compartment has been replaced by a small bed protected by metal plates painted black. Cargo is loaded into the back of the Paceman via a functional tail gate.

The apprentices tossed out the Paceman’s space-saver spare tire and replaced it with a more off-road-friendly full-sized unit mounted on the truck’s roof rack. The Paceman’s capacity to leave the beaten path has also been increased by a snorkel that climbs up the A-pillar on the driver’s side.

The pickup truck is finished in Jungle Green Metallic paint job, a color that will be added to the Paceman lineup for the 2015 model year.
