Mr. Bean drove several cars throughout the series and movies, but the most iconic one is a 1977 Leyland Cars Mini 1000 Mark IV in Austin Citron Green, with the bonnet painted matte black, and the number plate SLW 287R. This car was featured in the third episode of the series, "The Curse of Mr. Bean," and was considered a character rather than just an object. However, Mr. Bean had at least six Minis over the course of the series and movies, and parts were often taken out of previously used models and put into other cars during production. In the pilot episode of the series, Mr. Bean first appears driving an orange Mini.
