I asked the seller to put up some more pics and tell some details about it, lets wait and see what story he can tell.
I don't mind 4x4 minis but some times they don't mate well with the chassis which makes them look weird, the biggest problem is the wheels and arches not lining up and matching like they should.

There seem to be a fair few of these in the UK - I've never seen one here. I thought us Aussies had better taste than that...

Hmmm... 1L engine, '77 clubby - that would have a 3.44 diff, wouldn't it? Going up hills with 10" wheels is slow enough - I think I could find a few hills around here that thing wouldn't even be able to go up!

Yeah, it just looks like a bad experiment with lego to me

And $15k does make it seem like they got the cost confused with the actual value...

I like it a lot too but not with the mini engine. If it was a original Suzuki engine it was worth it in my opinion.

Somehow, I seriously doubt it still has the mini engine..

Where did you guys get this from?

The details in the upper form of the ad are just the standard details for a mini of that year
How could anyone be stupid enough to put a mini on a suzuki chassis, then modifiy the suzi chassis to take an a-series?

I like it a lot. Even if it is a clubby.

Imagine rocking up anywhere in that? To hell with practicality, handling etc it's awesome!

I'm pretty sure the Suzuki Sierra had a 1l motor standard at some point. I very much doubt it is a mini 1l. It would be a crazy drivetrain setup to use the original mini motor and make it 4wd. The lil 1l zooks used to move along OK, I can't imagine this would be any slower except for the larger than standard tyres. I had a 1.6l Vitara motor in my Sierra on 31" muddies and it hauled ass, but with the factory carby 1.3l she was a bit of a slug.

Cheers,

The early sierras were a 1 litre, but with that size tyres and a stock engine, gearbox and transfer case would make an 850 look like lightning.
