Just got back from London after a great day at the motor show. Wondering around looking at amazing cars wishing the classic mini was there, and there it was......... the mini that was in the Marks & Spensors Advert. Also just around the corner was the orange mini that was featured in Augusts edition of mini world that is up for grabs.
I was happy.

Took the artist 5 days and 5 nights to do this.

And a couple of concept cars

It has rear seat belts, and I think I see the catch for opening rear windows? Which means its post '76.

[miniboo]

is it the mini from the M&S advert?

Also it is defo a later mini that has been made to look like a mk1

That's the Barabus TKR, 1000bhp, 0-60 in 1.67seconds, 270mph and £360k. Sounds a little too good to be true to me.

More info here..

Brabus TKR ??

Barabus TKR, not to be confused with Mercedes tuners.

boooo, larks
comes to mind the traction and control u would need to keep a car on the road to do that 1.67s would cost more than the 360k quoted for the car.

Went yesterday, and I too was pleased to see the Radford (for it was indeed their work) Mini.
I was also wondering a bit about its heritage, given the grille / rear screen combo - totally missed the lack of external hinges, duh! (well they were camoflaged under all that foliage!)

Bargain of the show though if anybody is going, is on the Duke Video stand - they've got the Mini story DVD for £2.99! OK, so it's a bit dull in parts but it's worth three quid just for the in-car stuff, IMO.
I would imange those of you who've been involved in the scene for a while have already got it (half of you are probably IN it) but I was well pleased.
