I was scouting through ebay looking for possible mini bargains as i do whenever i cant think of anything else better to do on the internet, and i came upon the most horrificly modified mini i have ever laid my eyes upon. If anybody has any picture of any shocking minis post them up too.

Here's the link:

Horribly Modified Mini

Honestly, who ever did this should be shot.


All in all just an abomination

it looks like its been done well, but looks so wrong!

just read the feedback that the buyer left the seller when the car was sold on ebay, "Car had no second gear at all. Seller refused help. Very expensive repair for me" i can also see that it sold for 950 pound.

heres the listing from when it was sold to the person who is currently selling it http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item27b0d9e13b


note where he says "It is mechanically sound- no faults what-so-ever besides sometimes crunching going into the second gear which never happens if you are used to the gearbox."

Ah this one again! I still don't understand how ANYONE could find this car appealing, it just looks an absolute mess, such vulgar and uncoordinated styling. I feel sorry for it. But at that ridiculous asking price, i can't rescue it.

Seen this plenty of times before. somebody do the poor car a favour and put it out of its apparent misery, break it for useable parts, and burn the rest of it or send it to the crusher? :)
