Mini-Buick: Yes, it was a mad idea Did anybody actually buy it when it was for sale (fairly) recently? And have they done anything with it??

Harry Ratcliffe reckoned the Cooper-Buick Mini V8 was the best thing he ever did. Not because it went well or was easy to drive, it wasn't! But because of the amount of publicity it brought BRT. He described driving it as like trying to throw a hammer shaft first, but did say that people were really scared to overtake it as they never knew what direction it would veer off in next...
