From the 5GTT advert above:




Poor thing - that was barely acceptable back in the late '90's / early '00's when that sort of modification with regards to swapping out headlights from a different marque, etc, started getting out of control frown

eBay seller said:
This car was started 4 years ago
Wow, so they actually decided to build a project that was already at least decade out of date, modification wise, and thought it was a good idea? frown

Real old school tool that turns heads no matter where you go
Seems like a bit of poetic licence there, unless he's been trailering it everywhere hehe

This is possibly the worst modified car that I have ever seen!
Would be worth more if he'd just kept it near standard and in good nick

Absolutely. Mate of mine had one in the early 90's, terrific car. Very reliable too over the 2 years he had it eek !

Shame that one has been subjected to such an ordeal !

An unfortunate specimen which is currently blighting my morning walk to the train station.
Praise be to the owner of the Westminster blue XJ8 for helping to ease the pain.

Just had a quick look on DVLA to see what engine's in the Mini (or at least what it started out as) - it's showing as having no tax or MOT...

It's a Cooper.

Tax expired Dec 31st 2015, MOT expired on 5th Jan, currently insured.

Thinking about it, in the absence of the lovely XJ8, the skip would be a welcome distraction!

Merak with widebody which has been poorly maintained. Not sure why anyone would want to do this to a good-looking car.





It's an amazing dealer, the majority of the cars it stocks have been neglected or are unfinished projects. http://www.beverlyhillscarclub.com/index.htm

Take one great-looking car and comprehensively ruin...


Not quite sure thats "comprehensively ruined". Remove the crappy mid/rear wing and it looks lovely.

I don't think the Honda 4ws mule counts as badly modified. I think it's amusing; a certain sense of humour in the test department.

I know, i couldn't think of anywhere else to put it. It looks pretty silly anyway, so this was probably the best place. biggrin
I like how they've gone to the trouble of replacing the headlamps with red lights/lenses but left the wipers on the rear front.
