That purple mini was a real driver!! It was built by a guy called Andy saunders in
the mid eightys, he was a well known custom car builder, he also duilt a
shortened mini called 'mini ha ha' and a road going speedboat plus others.

The four door Mini was made by Broadspeed, it was one of their more popular body conversions and I think they made quite a few. I would love to own one.

The low Mini is real, it's in the Guinness book of records as the world's lowest car. I think it is 19" tall and it is driveable, you kind of lie in it.

I don't think the monster truck is fake, that photo has been around for a long time. I have seen a lot of Minis stuck on four wheel drive chassis before and this isn't that different. There would be a real scale problem with faking a photo like that.
