No it isn't. It's totally different. How many Monte's did an E Type win? E Types are lovely, but a good FHC is £40'000. As for 60's 911's, it took Porsche five years to beat the Mini comprehensively, requiring 200 bhp plus to do it.In the shed wrote: A Mk1 mini is not a 60's 911, or an E-Type.
I wouldn't pay 20 grand for a Mini either, but I wouldn't pay 20 grand for any car.
