Quack. Quack. Orange Cream soda. Shaken, not stirred.

Looks more like an illegitimate child of VW Karmann GHia X Bugeye Sprite, then over-inflated. I expect to see a Bozo-the-Clown vinyl punching toy driving it. No. would not buy that. "Hang on a minute lads....I've got a great idea."

I think it looks a tad too angry for me. But I would take the little guy in the back in a heartbeat

Maybe they could sell it as a TRIUMPH (as opposed to Triumph) TR-3 hardtop. Nothing is so bad that you can't make it worse by doing something rash or going berserk.

Oh yes, very yummy.
I was lucky enough to see it in the metal at Goodwood, on one of its very rare outings.
You could definately see Rover was trying out bits of trim etc for the (future) MINI.

The second time I looked at the photo it didn't make me frown as much. I guess I would need to see it in real life first. "How can anything bigger be mini?"

If I had the money, and the space, and the price was right, I would think about buying it. But I am talking about the little one in back. Quack. Quack. Orange Cream soda. Shaken, not stirred.

Looks a touch like the new solstice on steroids. peter No more cars left, Westpaminis is now just a memory, Good luck to all those hard working dealers left out there, We can tell you its not easy. We have fully enjoyed meeting all the fine folks we have in the business.
