The 4WD single engined moke has to be very rare too. Although there are a few in Australasia.

twinnys?

[Artful Dodger]

No, they had a gearbox conversion which had a gear coming off the crown wheel to the rear wheels. Special tubing had a rally mini clubman running it. She is still around IIRC.

Just gonna leave it saying special tubing, because it's really really funny...

The only thing stoping me from painting mine red is the sun fade,Would be good if there was something that you could put on to stop it from fadeing.
Your mini is perfect in my opinion apart from the rover looking wing mirrors (Again that only my opinion)still,think you should get some retro tex mirrors

toobing... lol phallic banter

[mk1coopers]

This question pops up quite a lot on forums, lots of Minis are rare for different reasons,low volume factory production (970 S), conversions that didn't sell that well (Wildgoose), or they were seen as disposable at one point in their lives (vans / pickups). We are lucky that some survived and we get to enjoy them now, personal favorites include, period coachbuilt cars (Radford / Hooper ect), Genuine Minisprints, Period race cars, Mini based conversions (Marcos ect), Genuine Coopers and S's, ect. I'm sure one day people will look back at 80's and 90's Hot Hatches in the same way, when was the last time you saw a Renult 5 Turbo, Uno Turbo, 205 GTi, RS Turbo, Sierra Cosworth ect being used as everyday transport, there was a point where they were on every street corner, just like Mini's
