I saw it last weekend in the aution area at Members.
It's worse in the metal.
Wonky misaligned headlamps with brown reflectors amongst other woes.

Good thing it's a one-off, so then we don't have to see many of them. Good way to ruin a great Mini. Poor car. Nice seats though. Needs to be lowered as well.
The auction was already held and there's no sale price listed. Maybe it didn't get enough interest (no surprise) to meet the reserve (if there was one). There's also a few other nicer Minis in that auction. Two of which that were driven by Patty Hopkirk. Way more sensibly styled. https://www.bonhams.com/auction/27996/goodwood-members-meeting/

Simple recipe for Excitement: Take 1 Classic Mini. Throw in 1590cc's of engine. Add 5 gears. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style inside and out. Toss in 1 MadMan and finally heat tires and pavement to taste. Recipe produces 1 Mini VTEC conversion and full satisfaction. Motor on!

This mini certainly belongs in the "more money than brains department".

To each their own. But sometimes some people shouldn't be allowed to have too much money.Griswold's are downsizing to save on fuel?

A tasty Mini, except for its face. WHY did they think square lights belong on a curvy body?
