Having numerous friends immersed in it, I am well aware of the popularity and concept of “steampunk“. I even wrote an article about a steampunked Sherlock Holmes story.

Which is why it was easy for me to imagine Holmes and Watson — or any number of my friends — cruising around town in this steampunk Mini Cooper, created by Carlex Design.

For the exterior, Carlex Design painted the Mini in a flat grey and then accented parts of it with copper, especially the wheels. Copper, wood, and brown leather was used in the interior.
