Answer: Yeah he had a red Mini at the beginning but it ends up getting crashed at the end of the episode. And then in other episodes he has a green Mini.
Answer: So you didn't see the end of the first episode when he crashed the old Mini and the wheel fell off? Plausible that he bought a new one afterwards.
Answer: I think it is because in the last episode his green car got smashed in the ceremony and he bought a red mini until he got a new green mini.

Trivia: Just before the scene where Mr Bean meets the Queen, the commentary is actually done by Rowan Atkinson.

Factual error: In the sketch with the train station, when the person in the booth isn't there you can see a map of the British Isles. A piece of land is shown in the English Channel that doesn't exist.

Revealing mistake: Just before Mr Bean rips a page out of his book, there is already a tear in it just before he actually tears it, which is not visible in any of the preceding shots.

Continuity mistake: The man with the ponytail, just before he has a haircut with Mr Bean, picks up his magazine twice.

Revealing mistake: In the later intros (when Mr Bean falls into a spotlight in a town) part of Mr Bean's foot isn't in the spotlight, but it still has a shine.

Revealing mistake: When Mr Bean's book falls apart, he tries putting the book back together, and he holds one page up to the camera and it has a slight reflection as if it is glossy paper. As far as I know old books like the one Mr Bean had don't have pages like that. It's an obviously fake book.

Chosen answer: I'm guessing it is because he bought a new car. At the end of the first Bean, he crashed the mini. You hear the crash and see his wheel bouncing down the road. Safe to assume it was a write-off.
