Cropped up on Facebook. I like it.

Brilliant!

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Especially when you leave the remains of the original hinges on the outside to no longer line up

Details, details.

I love stuff like that and have seen Hayabusa, Blackbird and GSXR 1000 engines transplanted into Minis on Facebook forums and various car sites.

Agreed Hayabusa, Smart car is another good one.

You mean a ‘busa engine in a Smart??

If you want to be really silly, what you need is 'busa engine boosted to about 350bhp in a car which weighs little over 350kgs and climbs hills....
quickly! A good friend of mine is owner and driver of this. Holds a fair few course records!

I’m liking that but I much prefer the sleeper look.

I wonder where you hide a working radiator
My old Mini got to1293cc back in the early 70’s and that was a bit of an issue to cool. I’ve also run the Honda Vtec in race cars and know it likes a decent air supply if you are going to use many of the horses….

Certainly no lack of air over the engine there

Didnt see this today, but see it now and then. Does it count?

 

[ALFAitalia]

Nope....I think I'd rather not see that one! Chav mobile.

I do love a Déesse, even more so the soft top.

 

[Chrishazle]

Have you seen the price for a Decopatable?? I'd love one, but I'd need a successful lottery ticket to get one! My CX Familiale was the most comfortable car i've ever travelled in, either driver or front seat passenger, and that includes some very well respected and expensive brands!

Not so much on the road as in the pub car park - it’s seen better days
