Small Mini?

[bainbrig]

I saw a car the other day, shaped like a mini, but it looked about 80% of a mini’s size.

Was I seeing things, or is there such a car?

Probably an original Mini, not one of BMW's modern versions.

smart car?

[bainbrig]

No, it was a mini in shape. Must be my memory going awry.

[Canary42]

One of the originals no doubt.

[Baldric]

Smart car, nothing like a Mini.

[tonyav]

Bigger than this one though eh, bainbrig.

Gulliver, do you have a link that proves they look anything like a Mini please?

[Baldric]

Sorry, I forgot, you can't do links.

An ordinary Mini that's spent too much time in the car wash?

[bainbrig]

kvalidir - yes, possibly that mini chop(except it wasn’t convertible).

And to the rest, no, having had 2 or 3 minis, worked on them, even changed the engine on one, I know what the bleeders look like.

Changing a rotten rear sub frame was fun wasn't it, bainbrig.

[bainbrig]

Afraid I used to give up when it came to big rusty bits.

Once tried stuffing such a cavity with newspaper and filler, with very little success...

Fiat 500?

Ah yes a popular fix was that, when MOT'S were no were near as strict as now.
