http://ninemsn.carpoint.com.au/used-car ... 71093.aspx Found the above mini on carpoint , very neatly done with the roof and doors , especially the bit above the rear windscreen to extend the headroom at the rear . Seller says a few were produced in the late 60's but I'm wondering who by , seller is only going on heresay so can't help . Anyone know anything about it ??? |

Well , neat from a panelwork and engineering point of view , they normally don't have doors or a roof .... |

Here's another, not for sale, it's owned by Morris Minor World at Parramatta. Looks prettier I think. Used for pushing and pulling dead Morrie Minuses about the yard. It also has a front towbar...

There are two in Adelaide made by a crash repair place . Called Mickey and Minnie. But these two in Adelaide are of the more normal type and don't have doors. But have seatbelts...which is weird becasue they aren't road legal anyways. Also, as the owner said to Nathan Koch (who trailered the 'Minnie' to Mini's at the Mill.) Don't go heavy on the drum brakes, as it easily lifts off the ground...HAHA, another ting is the little "Minnie's" clutch didn't work well so watching Nathan trying to drive it off the trailers and park it was funny as hell....(Stalls and wheelspins) |

Much cooler but I dread to think how hunched over you'd be driving it with your head on the back windscreen .... Someone in the NSW Mini Car Club had a shorty and when I spoke to the owner years ago they said they'd taken it in a motorkhana or khanacross and jammed on the brakes causing it to lift the back wheels off the ground and pivot around almost 180 degrees before the rears landed again ... |

You have to remember Sports, fashion does not equal convenience!

And that fashion tip is coming from someone who's grinning because he's hugging Humphrey B Bear

There's a road legal one with a roof and doors in Geelong. Ive driven it. What was the rear seat is now the front seat. It does a U-turn in about a lane and a half.
