This Mini was used from "The Return of Mr. Bean" until "Back to School, Mr. Bean".

In that episode, Bean changing parking spaces with an identical mini (registration ACW 497V) unfortunately the identical mini was set to be used for a demonstration of an army tank, and his car was crushed in it's place with the padlock on the side being the only salvageable part.

In the compilation episode "The Best Bits of Mr. Bean"  Mr. Bean and Teddy go into the attic in search of an umbrella on a rainy day. He finds one for Teddy, but when he finds his, it's broken and so he spends the episode looking for another one. During his search, Bean finds various items that bring back memories of his old adventures including the wreckage of his destroyed Mini <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:red;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0cm;">Third Mini (registration SLW 287R)2  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0cm6pt;line-height:normal;background:rgb(186,205,216);"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";color:red;mso-ansi-language:EN-US; mso-fareast-language:NL">Although the Mini has been crushed it reappears in the next episode "Tee off, Mr. Bean" This Mini was also Austin Citron Green with a matte black bonnet also with the registration number SLW 287R

It is possible that this Mini  was the one(registration ACW 497V) that was supposed to have been crushed in "Back to School, Mr Bean" and that Bean took it in as his own after his was destroyed by the tank. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;">'''<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:15pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:red;border-width:1pt;border-style:none;border-color:windowtext;padding:0cm;">Fourth Mini (registration C607 EUW) '''<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";color:red;mso-ansi-language:EN-US; mso-fareast-language:NL">For the feature film Bean (1997), a sequence seen Mr. Bean driving from his apartment to work involving the Mini (registration C607 EUW) including driving through Harrod's Department Store was shot, but this was not included in the final cut.

It is possible this is for anti-theft reasons, as the car thief (in "The Trouble with Mr. Bean") easily broke the padlock on his car and hot-wired it, but was unable to take it without the steering wheel.

In 2009 Mr Bean made a live public appearance at the Goodwood Revival driving a Mini sitting on top of the roof in an armchair, controlling the steering and pedals with a mop and string. A homage to the episode Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean

In 2015 to celebrate his 25th anniversary Bean drives around through the parks and landmarks of London in a Mini on top of the roof in an armchair.
