Is there not one at Beaulieu? (or have you already counted that one?)

I want something really wierd and out-there as a future project/restoration project

theres a 'Mini Mouse' on ebay at the moment - its certainly different...

I've got a Six Wheel Hustler that needs a good home..

I might have a lead on an (alleged) Outspan too, although I'd probably have to claim first dibs...

The Hustler isnt quite on par with the outspan but thanks for the offer.

I now know ther whereabouts of all oranges and its very unlikely I will be able to get one due to licensing etc. If you do manage to get one then let me know

I am a step closer

Thought I was the only weirdy collector - I'll be hugely envious if you get one! Did you ever find the Red Bull mini you were looking for?

Yes I did

Found three in the end that were for sale... Go figure lol

One is still in livery and can be bought complete with fridge for a mere £5k. if any one wants his info then get in touch.

One of my old ones came on the market for sale and then the guy went all strange and said he had sold it and started a ghost account pretending to be a person who had bought it??

The third was found in untouched condition and even had a can! I got hold of this but then got caught up in a legal fight with redbull (I won) over branding and useage etc.
By the time I had gone through all of this I had a bitter taste in my mouth. So even though it had taken so long to get one I had fallen out of love with them and a good friend took her on.

The third car is now in Porshe blue and frequents the shows around the UK (providing it isnt raining). He has done a fantastic job and has even kept the working fridge!

Time has come for me to find that last mini....

I want something very special/rare that I can use for my charity fundraising and have lots of fun with too.
Chatting to the builder of the Oranges is quite sureal and he has given me great guidence.

Maybe one day....

The pea car and an Outspan Mini are at Beaulieu. I had a ride in an Outspan Mini at a Mini Show about 10 years ago. I think I was the oldest rider by about 20 years!
How about a Duckhams Mini?

you could always build your own.... It wouldn't be a doddle but with some expert guidance (sounds like you have that) you could get really creative

[garrett3]

but there is no substitute for the real thing?

I only play with minis really and I'm not a fibreglass man. I have a passion for the strange I guess but if I was to build something like that I would need deeper pockets and longer arms lol

I knew there was one at Beaulieu as this was directly donated by Outspan and is now hired out for events. I didnt however know the pea was there. I really should go one day.

The duckhams mini is really up my street! I would want to use that as an every day car lol

[lowandslow]

I'v sure the road going shed is just a shed bulit on top of a quid bike. Looks cool though.
