To win this particular competition, you need a 1 off plastic fantastic that once the designer / builder finished it he poked his own eyes out & cut his own hands off so he could never make the same mistake again.
CJB Bison springs to mind

If this comes off Jeroen it'd be great to get as many plastic Minis there as possible, that would definately butter my crumpet.

Ta Da!
So much a one off that the designer has dissapeared off the face of the earth............

Usual story, a moment of weakness impeccably timed at the same moment as a bout of ridiculous optimism conspired to get me a racing car project........ Well, that's never happened before.
I bought it as it was the nearest I've seen to the Mink, but as yet I'm not exactly sure what it is / who built it. It is a '60s clubmans car though, and I have been progressing with it as a 1000cc car. I have drawn up the key body sections at 1:1 but It's for sale (as my projects always are) as, much as I love it, I want a car I can use on the road, and for the work I have to put in to it, I'm not really a racer, so I'm lacking the motivation.
It's a sod when you get old and realise you aren't the racing driver you maybe believed you could become when you were younger............
I'm looking at either a Sprite, or another period special project, but a road car with a body I don't have to make entirely myself
But when the Mink comes up for sale in the future I have first refusal, and it has a V5!
