Carbon '72 Mini C20XE Including Build Details

[Silver Smudger]

Thanks for linking this from the Decently Modified thread - This car is even more impressive once you get to see all the detail and work involved - Is now my joint favourite build, next to Red Victor.
Inspirational stuff - Really well done!

I have followed your thread with great interest. Mini's are a long long way down my list of favourite cars, but the dedication, skill, attention to detail & vision shown by you all throughout your project has left me slack jawed in amazement. Not only is it the best Mini I have ever seen, it is one of the best cars full stop I have ever seen. In fact, pretty much near the top of my list of favourite cars!

Thank God for people like you, very, very well done, you deserve all the acolades you get.

I really couldn't have put it better myself - awesome!

Hi, I'm new to the forums, I was doing some research before embarking on my own Mini project, yours was one of the first threads I came across and you've blown me away with it. Absolutely incredible, I'm speechless at the attention to detail and innovation in the car; you've all obviously shed a lot of blood, sweat and tears for it, and it shows. Just dragging up a question you're probably bored of being asked, but how much did the project cost you in total? The carbon fibre looks incredible, too, you've converted me from a non-believer!

Congrats on it, you've got an enviable car, absolutely astonishing.

Cheers for the comments
Recon I spent £15k on it in parts but thats without any labour costs which was 2 years worth of a few mates and I to get it done so really couldnt put a figure on it.
