The Mini Cooper Pool Table is made by Kent based manufacturer Chisel Pool. Home Leisure Direct are the exclusive retail partner for the UK, Europe and Worldwide sales.
It is fitted with a tournament grade slate bed pool table, to enable you to play English or American pool. The Mini Cooper pool table can be finished and customised with an almost limitless range of options.
We offer the Mini Cooper Pool table in two variants - the first, which you see pictured here, is made with a metal body. The other version, for which this listing is priced, is made with a fibreglass body. This reduces the cost considerably.
Launched at Grand Designs Live 2014:
Development History:
The prototype car was purchased about two years ago and underwent an extensive development process to achieve the finished article. The donor car was a 1984 Mini “City”.
It was stripped of everything not needed - the engine, roof, suspension, floorpan, all wiring and brake lines. Then comes the clever part. A patent pending space frame chassis was then designed and built to be able to support the whole car as well as the pool table playing surface.

Given the weight involved, which is around 500kg, it has to be especially rigid to support a slate bed playing surface. It is also designed to be able to split into two parts to enable it to fit through normal doorways.
Once the space frame was fitted to the inside of the car body and welded in place the car could then be filled, primed and painted. All new parts we fitted, including bumpers, lights, trim, door and boot handles.
The finished car/pool table is a triumph of engineering driven by passionate designers and engineers to realise a project that was far from straightforward.

Build Process
Pool Table Element:
The pool table part on our fibreglass model uses the playing surface from a World Championship pool table - the Supreme Winner, which is used in many tournaments each year, including the IPA series and the UK Pool Tour.
Mini Cooper Car Element:
As an alternative to the Heritage metal body version to reduce costs we also offer this fibreglass body shell, as this provides a perfect rust free basis to work with. The patent pending space frame is then fitted and welded in place to support the whole car and pool table. You can see the two chrome feet showing under the body in the photograph below.

The wheels are just for show, it isn’t a “rolling chassis” any longer as the pool table needs to be able to be supported and perfectly levelled. The wheels are fitted to mounts which allow them to be set to touch the floor once the table has been installed, rather than be suspended in the air.
Prior to finishing the paint work any additional customisation will be completed - see our Options section for more details on what can be specified. For example a drinks cabinet or fridge can be fitted under the bonnet.
The car’s paint can be specified in any colour, we can also fit any decals required, such as numbers to the doors or authentic Copper stripes to the bonnet.
