I've nearly finished reading my new book "Mini: The Racing Story".

It reminded my of how much i like the broadspeed gt...

a reminder..

Image

but i've always thought it would interesting with a standard roof and slightly angled rear window..

so... ( i had some time this morning.. :roll: )

Image

it's not too bad.....

i've also thought it could lend itself to 4 doors aswell....

Maybe it doesn't look right because the sideback windows go for too long?

Ok,

so,

I thought, put a window pillar in the back of the window, giving the capability of a sliding/winding window at the back :wink:

Image

AND they could've removed the middle B pillar, and just put the sealing rubber on the sliding back window, like a Jag XJ6 series 2 Coupe, which look HOT with no pillar and all windows down. Trust me, dad had one before the series 3 :P

I suppose it would be bloody difficult to turn a mini into a broadspeed huh?
