Hmmm. Looks really good, but do I want beaded edge tyres on wooden artillery wheels and only rear wheel brakes? Might be worth a look though... www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1177803These have an excellent reputation and, in sports trim, would beat a 3-litre Bentley around Brooklands. 3.6 litre four cylinder thumper of an engine, which tops out at just over 2,000 rpm. Four speed crash gearbox and rear wheel brakes operated by a hand lever. A foot pedal operates a relatively pointless transmission brake. |

They look lovely, but mechanically it sounds terrifying!

That's a bit too 'Eddie Grundy' for me. |

£35k? 35p maybe.

I admire your love of classics of that era, but I've got to admit that for £35k there is an incredibly long list of cars way, way ahead of anything that age on my list.

No way I'd pay anywhere near that for a modded Mini. The prices of original minis are starting to get a bit silly nowadays.

I watch Project Binky on Youtube just for the admiration of the engineering and ingenuity that has gone in to it. It looks better than that mini too. |

Yes, the price of that Mini is crazy. I could get a 1928 Sunbeam for less.

If that had a more standard external appearance with perhaps just the arches and was in a 1960's original colour, it would be a lot more desirable. |
