I've got no info on the Mini, but i to would be more than interested to find out where it is now... Amazing bit of kit!

Thats pretty cool, never knew a four door was ever made...

[rally1380]

Very interesting......Looks like an estate shell, with a saloon rear panel and 'obviously' two extra doors.  Very cool.

Hi everyone, Apparently this shell had been found and is currently being restored back to its former glory. Personally love to take more photos of it to aid my kit building quest I'm on. Lol.

[ZootWCR70]

To my knowledge the Mini is a van with a Mini rear end welded onto it. The two rear doors were in effect taken from opposing sides and reversed...hence the four door look.

There are some newer versions of this concept being used as wedding cars, so for those of you thinking of hiring them.....jump online he he...lol.

I'd like to buy some of the Coopers in the "for sale" section of that original article!

Amazing bit of kit that one. I'd love to look it over (where ever it is). I really hope the guy or someone gets this project done.

 

Many thanks mab01uk for sharing here. Have you also posted this up in the MK1 Forum?

Yes Moke Spider I posted it on the Mk1 forum a while back within another World Cup rally Mini topic but there seemed to be no definite info on its current whereabouts.....
