Cool, but is it streetable?🤔

Would this be classified by NHRA as a Funny Car, or an Altered?

Pickup truck. No room for an engine that size up front, so put it behind the cab in the pickup bed. 😂

Not sure that Cooper would have had much to do with this one.  Lol.

Not exactly a Mini any more, but what a concept machine !         Should whet a few model builder's appetites !

The biggest challenge would be keeping it going straight and having a fresh change of BVD's waiting at the finish line.

I suppose it had ample power to simply drift around the corners.

There’s not much mini left in it.
