Back in '75 a friend of mine had a Mini that he fitted a Wolseley Hornet bonnet to, but without the Wolseley grille. This gave a really neat forward facing scoop. He also stripped the interior and drove the thing like he stole it. Sadly one night he got into a race with a local dentist driving an MG-B in the town where we lived. The two cars made contact, the MG clipped the kerb and rolled, both cars were written off and the dentist was killed. Big local scandal. Chris didn't go to jail for his part in it but lost his licence and his interest in driving.
On a less downbeat note, here's a Hornet (a Mini with different bonnet, trim and extended tail) - you can imagine it without the special Wolseley grille, just an open scoop above the Mini grill.
