Mini Shorty

Remember the half of half Mini created by Gary Houston and the matte black scissor doors Mini Cooper appeared in Malaysia? Today we have found another interesting classic Mini known as the Mini Shorty. Look at the photo of this car, isn’t it outstanding, eye-catching, and weird? It is shorter than the ordinary short nose Mini and without any doors. However, there is an original “bean locker” on the driver’s side. To get into the car, driver and passenger have to jump in.

This Mr. Bean Mini Shorty is powered by a very powerful 1275cc engine with “kick shit” selector (Kick shit is how it is advertised in carandclassic.co.uk). The UK registration of this car is D 319 RLV. By looking at this car, almost all the Mini fans know this is an interesting car and it is also a funny toy to drive around. Although it is not recommend driving over 100 km/h, the 1275cc under the hood is capable of bringing this car up to a top speed of approximately 170 km/h.

For those who are living in France, you might have seen this car as it has been used in France for commercial events and convention.

The chassis of this Mini was built in 1986. It has been chopped and rebuilt to the Mini Shorty in the town of Quincy Voisins. For those who are interested to own this cute toy, you may want to contact the owner before it is too late. The asking price is £2400 with free delivery to Calais, France.

As you can see from the photos, this Mini car is one of its kinds. The owner uses British flag designed side mirror, 12 inches Minilite wheel with tartan designed interior. The rest of it is quite standard with three clock center binnacle.

Oh yeah, £2400 for a Mini without doors, roof, main windscreen, rear windows, and both side windows. Are you afraid of it?

It’s Mini Mouse, Not Mickey Mouse!

Photo credit: Any McPhail

Well, it’s Mini Mouse from the Mini land, not the Mickey Mouse from the Disneyland. A mini lover, Andy McPhail from Taunton Somerset, United Kingdom has just posted a piece of art he did on a classic Mini few hours ago on Facebook. It catches our eyes and it is a MUST for us to share it to the world. The Mini does not have any extra large cool wheels or high horsepower engine but it has grey furry skin, a pair of large pink ears, a tail, two big white teeth, a big black nose with whiskers, and a pair of beautiful eyelash on the large, beady eyes (headlamps).

So, did you just:

A. Wow!!!
B. Shock and say “Good job!”
C. Should out loud “WTF???”
D. Say “I want one!”
E. Now that’s really stupid.
F. That’s really awesome.
G. You are just GAY!
H. Good job Andy.

Whatever your answer is, this short-Mini or better call it Mini Mouse is one of a kind. We will give double thumbs up! The art of expressing a classic Mini means you do something that no one else has done before. This customized Mini Mouse is definitely a unique one.

If you are interested to see the transformation, these are the pictures.

Fourteen Seater Mini Moke

The legendary BMC Mini Moke is always a fun car to customize due to its unique appearance – roof-less, door-less, and small-size jeep style but impractical to go off-road. Here we spotted a fourteen-seater six-wheeled Mini Moke somewhere on earth. Pictures are provided and it doesn’t really matter where it is right?

The owner customizes the car with six 13” x 7” Minilite wheels and fourteen yellow plastic seats. The use of plastic seats is to deal with the rain water. Plastic seats are water proof and it is easy to clean if they are wet. The body of the car has been stretched to fit these seats and the length is two times longer than a standard British Moke. We have seen many Moke fans customize their car with cage-style and stretched body with six-wheels, but this yellow fourteen seater moke is the first time and it is one of its kinds. We do not have the details about the engine and powertrain but it could be difficult and slow for a 1300cc engine to pickup fourteen passengers. Slow of fast doesn’t really matter as long as the car bring us to the desire destination, isn’t?
