I've just come across this picture of a very ugly mini based kit car that I used to own. I've never seen another one and was wondering if anyone could shed any light on it is, thanks.

Mini Minus Maxi.

 

10th August a fifth Minus Maxi was found (i'm fairly sure there are a few more out there.... but not many!)

You must have heard the quote from when it was first reviewed....  "The b@stard love child of a Matra Rancho and a Clubman Estate"

Thanks for the info, I sold it about 20 years ago to a local guy but have never seen it since.

Don't think that was the reg, seem to recall it being on an H plate. Will have a hunt for some more photos that might show the reg.

I love these little things. Have been hovering over the buy it now on the two that have sold on ebay over the last few years. If I didn't think my wife and bank manager would kill me I'd have been there.
