For sale over here in Ontario.  It's...umm...an interesting design. Not my kind of thing but definitely unique.

What are they made from? Suzuki Jimny?

I hate the paint but must admit I have a soft spot for these. No idea why as it's not a mini anymore really but always look a lot of fun. Shame its in the states.

I've always fancied a 6-wheeled Mini pick-up. But when I bought one for full restoration a few years ago I just decided to restore it to standard.

 

I have a friend who is currently restoring an MGB bodyshell mounted on an early Range Rover floor pan. It is very interesting as the wheel-base is almost identical so it almost looks like a slightly higher MGB. When It's done I'm going to get to drive it on a bit of rough road. Should be interesting. I'll post some photos of the finished car.

Thought that might interest you Clive.

Apparently it was a reasonably simple job as the floor interface matches up well and it was easy to get the load paths correct between Range Rover floor pan and MGB body structure. It looks great and not like a 'bodge job'. With the big V8 engine it should go well. A true Land rover sports car really.

A very interesting project which is being done as part of an engineering project at a school in Borehamwood where my friend is the engineering teacher.

You'll have to excuse my TMF colleagues lack of geographical insight. Clearly the USA and Canada are considered the same place, in that part of Scotland he lives in called the West Midlands!!!

Doh! Now thouroughly embarrassed. Just saw the dollar mark on the price and didn't look any further. I cannot apologise enough. I feel I should have 100 warning points immediately for insulting our Canadian friends so badly.

[zinzan]

It's quite alright.  As a true Canadian it's my duty to apologize to you for possibly offending you.  Clearly I should have been clearer somehow and should now set up a government-funded committee to investigate further.

^^^ That can be arranged!!

(Plus another 100 points for insulting our US friends by insinuating that it should be considered offensive to be called an American, when you're not actually American!)

Clive is obviously hoping to become TMF's international relations representative here.

nah, my brother lives in Boston so I know the states and some bits of Canada well. I could not possibly insult Americans, they elected George W after all.
