great,
did you know that corgi had planned to make a model from this Mini?
I know a guy who has the original corgi prototype from the 70ies.
I have an original picture out of the corgi archive that they used to plan the model.

Somehow, completely different though, reminds me of my former (tinkerers best ever) neighbour Clive Mechaell's "California Kid" fuel altered dragster, which he still occasionally races. Very cool and nice chapBTW, now in his 70ies.
Same chassis over time...:
