That is truly appalling and who the hell is bidding on such a well.....monstrosity ??
I honestly don't think we can find worse than this one........or can we? 
Well done Droid !!

But it's in BRG !! Looking at the front grille (in all it's neatly engineered glory) perhaps we can pass it on to the septics as the prototype BINI ? (No offence ?!!)

Very tasteful Niall 
I have grave fears that many Mini's of the 80's are going to end up like this, such is the growing trend for desigining the most pig ugly spoilers and body kits possible

I think a 'septic' tank is where this car belongs, Droid

It's laughable what the bad taste brigade will do, but is a crying shame that Minis are being wasted like this

Perhaps the rear sort of boxes(wheelarch) contain the Big Speakers

I've thrown them away in that condition ! I'm sure I've got a much better one than that in the loft - I must look it out . My car, having started off in Australia doesn't have a tube and just a blanking plate fitted to the bulkhead although it does have that type of heater fitted.....

No, it's never safe if you're an old Mini, or two, or three in this case .......
Selling as space needed . I imagine it would take up quite a lot of space! . I certainly haven't got enough and collecting on a trailer could prove interesting .....

It wouldn't be much good for hairpin bends on the M2M would it .
