Obvioysly hasn’t coughed to DVLA that it’s been converted, it’s still showing as petrol powered

Not my cup of tea externally but its pretty impressive in every other way. I cant imagine the dollars that have been lobbed at that in the past 4 years
Watching the interview its clear Simon Cowell bloody loves that Mini though

Considering what the car will of cost, lovely finish inside the car I think the quality and finish particularly the wheel spats externally is terrible.

He sounds weird. Either half pissed or that much Botox his face can’t move…..

I think that's an electric "re-imagined" Heritage Simon Cowell clone created recently.
The trouble is that nobody can now remember which parts of the original were retained and what is the from the eMastered version - of Cowell himself OR his Mini

I think the sills and the underside looks pretty poor too considering the cost... as they say though, money doesn't buy taste.

I woud imagine, unkindly, that Mr Coowell is yet another rich, transient, Mini owner and his new toy will be a passing phase.

Steel helmet on....... but we've seen them come and go over the years

It’s no different than the wealthy blowing a bomb on coachbuilt Minis in the 60s and 70s. You’d think it’d keep the value of the donor cars up because they must go through a fair few!

Donor cars or registration numbers? Has anyone else been noticing the numbers? At the NEC on a Mini stand was an A suffix plated e Mini and SC's is an L prefix ! How many ULEZ clobbered minis will be electrified. There is Formula E, perhaps the London to Brighton Run will return as the L2B e Run?

It's pin money to people like Simon Cowell and he seems pretty enthused about his car.
Inside does look great. Early 80's Esprit colours not universally appealing but each to their own.
