That tiny yellow one above was at the Mini40 birthday at Silverstone. Its definitely not photochopped. I even saw the guy get in it and drive it about, he must have been a contortionist...!!! I opened the door on it and shut it again, not realising that you had to turn the handle when shutting, as it was just a bar on the inside similar to a gate latch. I think i may have damaged his paintwork.. :'(

this is called a GTO and was feature in the September 1996 issue of mini-world.

it was a conversion offered by a classic car restoration company called church green.

the whole of the back end is hand crafted in metal, no fibreglass at all.

i quite like this one really, apart from the boot lid looking a bit plain.

They are called 'Beauford' kit cars... http://www.beaufordclub.org.uk/

My Dad nearly built one a while back to add to his weird mini collection... but has just bought a Domino kit instead!

yeah, i bought an old mini mag ages ago and it had a gto in it in green. its lush! i thought the back end was ok, maybe a mk1 light conversion tho!
