yea Ben, I agree....looks more Mini than a BINI....got more pics of it? Is it as small as a Mira? :lol:

I worked with 2 real large frame guys, who used to carpool from 'the gong' to the airport. One guy drove a Mira. When both of them were in it, they both half hung out the side windows, and their shoulders were touching in the middle.... :lol: you had to see it!!

DAIHATSU
New Daihatsu Mira Gino
Daihatsu has introduced the new-generation Mira Gino. Initially shown as the XL-C at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show, the Gino is based on the sixth-generation Mira. It has styling that harks back to 1960s British mini-cars, just like the previous Mira Gino, which is taller and roomier than the Mira. The Mira Gino is available with a 58-hp, three-cylinder, 660-cc engine and a four-speed automatic transmission. It comes in two- or four-wheel drive. Equipment includes air conditioning and a pollen filter.

Had to laugh cause my brother would have to sit in the back seat to drive my mini and he'd take up the whole car..He's 6'5" and built like a ya know.. :wink: Way back when I got my licence I had a laser hatchback. My brother looked like a sumo in the front seat!

dont think it would be bolkt in , the front looks to be a fair bit more rounded than the morris nose, also i doubt you would get one here . you would be better off getting a mini trailers grille (www.minitrailers.com)
