I've had a request from Racing Green (our resident Belgian mini ute fanatic) for some photo's and details of the yellow V8 mini ute that was at Summernats a couple of years ago . I'm coming up short so has anyone else got any info or photo's on it ? |

When does a Mini not become a Mini? I was looking at the superfast mini site recently. It's a Honda VTEC engine coupled to a four wheel drive chassis. Internals were all non-standard. What made it a Mini - it had a roundnose body plonked on top! By the sounds of it - if the windscreen to nose looks like a Mini then that's it?! |

I quite like this one because it has been engineered and by the looks of things, the owner loved it, for probably two reasons it was a classic minii turned into a crazy V8- it was personalised for his/ her taste. It is much better in every respect, than the charade mini (penrith...i think) it was on ebay, charade front end (flared, then attempted a clubman front) probably all with bog. I think the cha-mini-rade started the swine flu epidemic. |

It used to be a teal green panel van. The original owner was a speedway guy. He just built it like all his race cars - chassis and driveline with a body over the top. Looked WAY cooler as a van. The new owner then nade it a ute as we see here, and one stage after that it had $100 notes airbushed all over the floors. Runs and drives from what i remember. |

Like the clean look on the outside - did you make special hinges or just internal Mini ones? Presume you can open the door because you have no window?! No door handle on outside. |

Thanks Ian and folks, there's some pics above I've never seen. I had that car in mind but couldn't find the pics anymore. Its style looks like this american one, with the small axle, big wheels and even the flame job: 
Not sure if it's a V8 but the front end does look a bit longer then usual so I suppose it's not an 850. It was offered for sale lately for the equivalent of about 25.000 euro. |
