The 1988 Austin Mini Designer by Mary Quant has some curious features like the all-black front grille, loosely akin to the all-black de-chromed grille look of the Series 5 to Series 8 Autobianchi A112s.
Had the Mini received a similar front to Project Ant aka Barrel Car prototype and carried over a similar all-black front grille as the Mini Designer, it would have given the Mini a slightly modern looking front-end without the chrome.
