Stop the press! Just discovered the best mini ever

[Danny California]

Just discovered this amazing mini, as converted by a french company called BMC Auto (blatant name theft I know). Running a supercharged block of some size, hopefully 1380 lol, with an ITG foam filter and custom stainless exhaust.
They're built to order I think, and prices vary... not cheap though, but I would actually kill to get my hands on this beauty:





Let the droooooling commence!



























(love how the rear seat folds forwards to allow the back section to drop totally flat, thats genius)





Heres a link to the google translation page with a bit more info on the running gear and a few more pics. I think it was in Minimag last year, but I never saw it. I'm in love with it.

Yes I've seen this on other Mini Forums and it's a pretty amazing looking car.

I just made a mess.

Thats fantastic.

I dont think it runs a spare tyre by the looks of it. looks like theres a moulded petrol tank in the boot floor that props up the floor.
Clever stuff.

Anyone else with me? Or am I crazy to think this is one of the nicest minis ever made?

Yeah the pics on the translated page show the fuel tank under the boot floor.

that lush!! any ideas how much there selling for?

[Danny California]

Well I heard rumours of about £20,000, but I guess thats a fully handbuild beast with the conversion done, all the engine work, custom suspension etc. Not to mention a new shell to begin with and all the bodywork. Think they're built totally to order, so price depends on how dep your pockets are lol
