Hi all... browsing through the board, I got wandering about custom-built minis, especially the Radford and Wood&Pickett cars of the 1960s and 1970s.

I was wandering if anyone knew how many of each were made, whether they come up very often, and how much they go for?

Especially of interest was the hatchback Radford cars - anyone driven one? How did chopping off the rear parcel-shelf affect rigidity and handling?

Anyway, thanks in advance for any info...

Steve Burkinshaw is very knowledgable on this subject and is the Coach built mini registrar for the Mini Cooper Register ..he does a fair bit of restoration work on them as well .





Wow! It doesn't half look pretty...

I'd be interested to know how the extra weight affected the handling of the cars. One of the beauties of the mini is the feeling of lightness - how does it translate when that's removed?
