Real brand is Perodua, Kelisa. Some people painted it like a MINI. o_O Frankly, it's a lot cheaper too. Mr. Green

I’ve seen the same colour scheme in the dealer’s ads in the Classifieds.

the Bear SG

another is the Daihatsu...

looks like the mini too Wink

Actually about half the kelisa in Singapore have 2 tone colour. White-blue, black-white, black-gold are the common ones. More rare ones are black-silver and black-yellow (super rare).

There are also other mod that people do to make it more mini-like.

spaded SG

i only started seeing them recently. Neutral

houndy SG

the price difference is like two times as well… hmmm…

devmeister SG

mmm, i’ve never seen one before.

That is because there is only about 700 (2 tone, 1 tone, whatever!) of them in Singapore. Compared to the number of cars in Singapore, it is very hard to spot them.

I have being trying to spot them for the last 2 months, only managed to see 1. It overtook my taxi near the ECP and AYE linking point. The rest I see is in the showroom, or below my block. Someone who live near me have it.

Keep your eye open, you are going to see more. Just don't mistook them for the old March. The single tone ones really look similar.

you can easily spot 1 along PIE towards SAFTI MI….always hogging the right lane even there is hardly any traffice

Hmm...My house the mscp downstairs have one black-yellow one kelisa. Also thought it was a mini when I first saw it. Didn't know it was "super-rare" Rolling Eyes

As compared to blue-white and black-white kelisa that I saw, the black-yellow one look so much better and convincing. You can try to spot it around Jurong East and Clementi area, saw it a couple of time on the roads in these areas Very Happy

Suppose this one can go into the sighting of rare car too... Mr. Green

Takumi2eLimit SG

walao,so common…

Subbx SG

Very rare? I see about one or two everyday... Rolling Eyes

free4ever SG

Although I see the black-yellow one almost everyday at my mscp, I am not able to spot another black-yellow kelisa elsewhere...so I guess YES.
Not that Kelisa are rare, but the color tone on kelisa that is rare. Very Happy

wbucket SG

Why I said that black-yellow is rare because the 2 tone comes in limited edition. The common colour for Kelisa is White, Blue and Gold. So the 2 tone with these colours are relatively more, at an additional price. Where as for the black-yellow one, unless it is the limited edition one, you have to re-spray the whole car for it. More costly.

Kuali Baba SG

I would like to have one actually...but I want to fit a roll-cage so that it doesn't become blue-and-white Apom-Apom easily in a prang. Embarassed

dandalao SG

common in silver color too Wink

devmeister SG

looking @ the picture again, the back + side looks rather like the mini, but the front is real different.

free4ever SG

This is the one...yellow-black Kelisa... Very Happy Quite convincing as mini with its alloys rims and two tone colour. This one is the closest than any other colour.
Anyone seen this before anywhere???

spaded SG

this colour looks better than the white/blue one but that one got 2 stripes in front.

Mr Chumpa Woompa SG

Oh man. This is so insulting. Rolling Eyes Grrrrr.

There's an article on the Mini Convertible in today's Life!. Looks like it's a car only the rich should be able to afford... Neutral Petrol-hungry car.... Sigh. *dream poofs and disappears*
