these pics are from my "strange minis" file.

anything that's a bit different.

really cool four door mini, i think this should have gone into production ...



i believe these cars were actually used as hotel transport on some distant hot islands...



cool hot rod mini....



i think you may have seen this one before, monster truck mini...



this is known as the "safety mini", it's the result of a lot of testing into pedestrian safety (and it's ugly)...



could this be the smallest ever mini ???...

i love that 4 door mini!

i always wondered if it had ever been done

[TOMMO0302]

Oh my god, i love the last one, looks somehow like a TVR!?

Cool pics again!

[minidan]

omg that last one is more MAD than all the others put together!!!

surely thats not driveable??

[THE ANORAK]

right, this one was a prototype for the replacement mini, and later became the metro...



this is one of my favorites, it's called Minki2. it was a design study by the people at rover.
it looks a lot like a normal mini but it is in-fact about 4 inches wider and longer and has a K-series engine. it's owned by the heritage museum at gaydon but they don't have it on show very much anymore...

lmfao!!!

[minimarco]

the elf looks so cool! but he looks like a kidnapper...i would go with him if i were a kid

i thought the monster mini is photocshopped? because the front left wheel looks like it sticks out further than the front right wheel. when its not even turning

WOW you have got some good pics there. Is the last one real or is it a photoshop?

[rozzer!]

i have seen one of those 4 door mini's on an 87 d plate near where i live a few years ago. i think its cool! also the looooow rider is different!

[THE ANORAK]

these last few are not really minis but they are built on mini mechanicals...

they also live at the heritage centre but i can't remember their names *

Edit: added a few names...



this one is called a Minissima or Minissma (it's on the reg plate)



this one is a Michelotti Mini ADO70



right, i'm just off to find the "out-span orange" mini
