Post subject:  mini roller
as a kid i remember seeing a mini with a rolls royce grille and headlights grafted on... strange as that may sound , from memory it was awesome, looked really good and a very tidy job. it made the papers as the owner claimed he had dreamt of owning a roller all his life but realised he would never have enough dosh.. anyone remember seeing it, are there any others done? anyone got a pic???

I've seen a pic of that somewhere years ago. Also one of the upmarket UK bodyworks used to fit Mercedes 220SE headlamps to custom Minis. Didn't look too bad.. :wink:

here is the roller front... mustard indeed :? done by Brian Luff as a bit of a joke, Brian Luff was responsible for the Minipower special, rear-engined mini based lotus seven competitor

and here is the benz headlights that doc refers to, courtesy of Wood & Pickett - not too bad Doc, not too good either, but maybe preferable to a clubman :P

and here is one of those hatchback conversions people were chatting about a while ago

The mini looks so small with those huge headlights.

The second one's like when a roundie meets a clubbie.
The last one isn't too bad. Make that stereo easier to fit.
