The only one huh? What about the yellow one somewhere in Sydney and the white one in Qld. I'm sure I've seen others I can't recall.

Notice this one was probably built in the UK, as it's using UK shells and doors.

Also note who owns it.

Cheers,

I think You may be correct, This one and the one Rocky canto and I built, belonged to A 'friend of Mine . Brian Hollings, Who sadly passed away, His family is keeping the one He purchased from Me over 22 years ago, I think it may have been the first Mini Limo built, When it was first finished it was on the, Good Morning Australia TV programme, Front page of the Australian Newspaper, Page two of The Telegraph and featured in Racing car News magazine

Brian was a very nice bloke, always helpful and quite knowledgable. It has been a few years since I last saw him and I am saddened to hear of his passing. A loss to his family of course but also a loss to the industry.

I open the photos in new windows, look at the site they are hot-linked from and send the site an email to tell that that their photos are being used to sell crap.

I saw a page a while back; terrible page, but some nice work has been done:

http://www.mini-cooper1.com/mini_limo.html

And I'm quite a fan of the trailer near the bottom of the page.
