This unique car took over 2300 man hours to construct and was the most expensive Mini ever built, then costing more than a new Rolls Royce.

The body shell was given bitumastic coatings on the inside and outside from new for soundproofing.

Flared wheel arches and 6" wide J.A. Pearce light alloy wheels.

Full lifting rear tailgate and folding rear seats.

Heated front and rear windscreens with front electric windows.

Polished veneer dashboard with numerous dials and switches and luxury pile carpets.

Twin fuel tanks and alternator electrics.
