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 :dozing: ...

Posted Image

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

Posted Image

cool hot rod mini....

Posted Image

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

Posted Image

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

Posted Image

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

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

Posted Image

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...

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
