Put an electric motor in it and you could have a new 'city' car

What about a pull-back motor?
push it backwards into the garage the night before, climb in the next morning, press the remote garage door release and hang on!
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

Good point though - 'shorty' Minis are quite common - but has anyone done a shorty Minor ?

Is that the one that was accident damaged and rebuilt with an extension on the wood?

I don't know if it was crash damaged, but It is extended with wood(sounds dodgy) but isn't!

If it is the one i am thinking of, then the rear section of the wheelarch, where it meets with the rear upright, is longer than standard.
