Hello Guys

I found some pics of this strange mini that was raced in 70

Who built it? leyland? or a private racer?

by the way it's not too bad...

Is it me, or is it a bit longer than normal ?

Yes, certainly longer than standard.

I believe that its still meant to be about somewhere?

Would love to know more about this car. Looking at the fuel filler I will hazard a guess that it is built on a van wheelbase.

If I remember rightly it was built on a van.

"the Mini is a van with a Mini rear end welded onto it. The two rear doors were in effect taken from opposing sides and reversed...hence the four door look."
