there's too many "one-offs" to pick a single rarest...

I think it ends in an S

but becoming less rare as every day goes by as more come into existance..

I was going to say my one, as there's only one of them... But I'm guessing were going for production model, or as new modification, (cooper etc).

ERA Turbo?
Lamme convertible?
Wolseley Hornet convertible?

There's lots to pick from actually...

How about the Turbo Technic's Suck through system cars?
They had 6 which left the factory fitted with 850 engines in the late 60's but in the vin num the code is PRT or something similar standing for prototype and should never of left the factory and a customer seen them but it fell through and,as far as im aware, there is only one left if exsistance.

Even the Gaydon Heritage Museum has no records of the cars themsleves from what we have found out but an old gentleman from turbo technics remebered the deal occuring many years ago.

What about the crayford minis, or the minis that were hatchback look kind of strange really.

[giz]

the first one!

is it more rare than the last 1 ?

??? what?! there is one of each and can be both found under the same roof not for sale!

i think rare would have to mean that there were only a few made or the kind of model that doesn't come up for sale all that often such as the mini wild goose, crayford convertables or even the era turbo. But like someone said earlier bog standard completely original mini's are very rare these days.

has anyone started a topic with pictures of the many prototypes? or has anyone got a link to a good website with pictures?
