Wood & Pickett nicely curved the rear gutter downwards on minis with the removal of the rear gutter with vinyl option. Quality craftsmanship!

I was thinking the same!

I though this as well, but we have come across a few WP's now that just have the rear gutter take off (JC to confirm). It is nicer if it is curved in my opinion

Most WP,s have a rounded joint of gutter&seam, but I seem to remember some with only rear section cut & vinyl fitted like the one in UHR,s pic.
Maybe some cars were done without repainting the car ?

I took this picture in 1982 at the Mini Treffen in Luxemburg,
do not know anything about it sorry

Kees

Hard to see whatever this is a Radford or Wood & Pickett Think its one of the cars, that had work done at both Radford and W&P, workshops.

Door handle is original Mini, but rear screen wiper - vinyl roof with cutaway rear roof gutter are W&P items, and it looks like one of WP,s badge,s for Mini,s on the boot.

Yes I would agree with JC. Looks like it was originally converted by Radfords and then went to WP's for an upgrade.

UHR850 do you have any more shots of it? Interior etc?

Sorry no more pictures taken Only if I new then what I know now

Yes agree - the inside is by far the most interesting part of these personalised Mini,s

Here's one which has been discussed on the Radford thread, but I found it in Gallery One on the W&P site, looks like BLT to me. Note the corners of the gutter and seam are as Kees picture

PS Just checked the number, it's 3 out, this car is 638, the car in the Radford thread is 635. Perhaps this is another Radford with a W&P refurb?

Just looking at the wheels / arches combo on this - those D1s must be 5"x10"s yet they need the W&P arches, would this mean they're pushed out on spacers...? I might be wrong, but I don't think Dunlop did D1s in 6"x10".

Edit : fabulous looking car by the way!

Probably S brakes?

[Pete]

They do look spacered even for S brakes considering they only made one offset 5x10 D1.

[WMU 211G]

Cheers gents

I've got 5x10 D1s on my S and they only poke out of the bodywork a little bit (with no arches). Thinking of putting W&P arches and 6x10 Cosmics on it next year.

Kees I find your picture most interesting,this is mine ,and was at one time described as Sienna Brown,shame no picture of the reg,

[UHR850]

Maybe the same one ? If you take a close look at my picture

with a 2 just like yours ! I think we have a match
And there is a rear windscreen wiper ! Is there a hole in your car ?
