I love the body and interior. I'm just wishing the engine was a bored 1275 to say like 1440 be more of a eye catcher me thinks. The dash I like and the custom flames on roof lining. All in all though a good job but the engine is overkill.

I've seen this car before. It was built for show only and is not road legal.

Are you sure? A lot of effort for something that's never going to be driven, and I thought in the states that more or less anything was allowed on the roads - you may be right but I was under the impression it was a road car.

One thing I definitely like is the dash - it sometimes takes someone from outside the scene to do something original. It's a very nice take on the theme.

I reckon, for an extreme mini, this is pretty cool.

Oops, different car, I got the threads mixed up. Thought this was the green V8 Mini on eBay. :oops:
