A customer I meet through work has this rotting/rusting under his house.....back in it's glory days: ![]() ![]() It is shortened mini, doors cut out and the car rejoined, 7'6"long, 240lb lighter than a normal mini with a 1275cc motor, top speed just over 100mph. Trailer made from 2 rear ends joined. Font of trailer same as back. Used everyday, even toured around the North Island of New Zealand. Cheers KiwiMR2 |

I drove a shortened Holden ONCE. It was the most frightening thing I have ever driven. You only needed to breathe and it changed direction. I reckon the Mini is parked for a good reason, it would be bloody horrible to drive. |

Maybe in UnZud.. but I doubt you would get a shorty engineered for the road here in NSW now. There was one in Parramatta NSW, but not registered- Allans Motors used it to push & drag dead Morris Minors around their shop. Note the front (& rear) towbars... ![]() |

I had a shortened Minx for a while.... Started out as a rusted-as minx, an oxy-set, a couple of afternoons and a LOT of beer ...... Pics... ![]() Shorty, roofless, doorless, exhaust-less, brainless.... but a HELL of a lot of paddock-bashing fun.... Took it to 'nats one year too... THAT was fun! J |
