The pink/white 50's American style 'lowrider' Mini used to be local to me in Surrey and appeared in the Custom car magazines but was then sold and exported to the USA some years ago.

the red chopped mini is on its way back to the states or is already in the states, I heard the guy was waiting for the age of the vehicle to meet the 25yr rule for the states

I remember seeing a VERY chopped Mini on the first Riviera Run in 95 (it was also at L2B IIRC) which was an old 1000 with something ridiculous like 8 or 9 inches taken out. It wasn't properly finished but I do have some pics somewhere so I will have to dig em out & scan them. It looked very strange!

The yellow car with the black bonnet on the right of the top row is a Genuine Period Trickett Sprint, not just a roof chop :-)
