Probably not too many avid viewers of 'Hollyoaks' here on the Mk1 forum........but destroying the Mini Sprite involved did make the pages of Classic Car Weekly. :lol:

Apparently 4 Mini's were used for the scenes, the smashed one has been scrapped, 1 sold on ebay, 1 still for sale (see link below) and 1 is said to be a project.....

They look like genuine ball joints to me. See photo 4.

What I can't understand is how did the woman pictured in the images above loose her clothes in the course of events?

I assume it was artistically necessary to convey the message the director was trying to convey in this pivotal scene. And who are we to question the vision of a true artist?
