    Agreed, if he had any sense at all he'd show the inside of the bed as well, for 30k he's never gonna sell that to a normally sane person

    Don't think 2 Gp's would be required to do what he's done
    I get where he's coming from as it's his business he is advertising and he didn't want to start with a crashed GP which would involve more, expensive work to achieve a top class finish.
    I actually quite like it...in a wierd kinda way...but he's made it too long in my opinion...would look better if the wheelbase was shorter

    Oh I don’t like that at all, if you want a pick up buy one. Ok they made an original pick up in the classic mini but think he has just wasted a load of cash for something that I presume will handle nothing like a GP.

    £30K you got to love a dreamer! I’d love to try to get insurance for it as well.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
