Imagine catching this on the road

V8MoneyPit:
We have a customer who tries to build a custom Mini each year. This is the 2009 one. Can't really imagine peoples first reaction when they see this in front of them on the motorway  :lol:

Llanigraham:
Now how did he manage to keep the original number when that is a "radical altertion" to the original monoque? :evil:

At least you can see he has got red bulbs in those lights.

V8MoneyPit:
It isn't an original number for the donor car. The car is much later than '71. So it has an older registration transfered to it.

I believe it had to go through an SVA, or whatever it's called these days. I pointed out to him that it didn't have reflectors on the 'rear'.... his reaction? Oh yes, I forgot those!!!  :lol: It still got it's test though  :shock:

The rear 'headlamps' are two pole stop/tail lamps with red bulbs. I believe he also has red angeleye type headlamps to give an extra tail light.

Bush Tucker Man:
There's a couple of Landies about that are built the same way



That's not forgetting that Citroen also tried it on the 'mass-market' with the 'push-me - pull-you' Picasso :D

Mutz:
Then there was the MiniMerc and MiniRolls and the streched Mini, roof chopped mini, shortned mini.

Had driven the MiniMerc and sat in the strechedmini ( just a tubular frame with fibreglas shell wrapped round it)
