Not to everyone's taste...

[Austin Prefect]

Has someone put a Morris Minor grille on a Fiat 500?

Did somebody put some LSD in my wine?

It has a certain something.

Reminds me of some of Mitsuoka's oddities

Did someone steal a picture from the Badly Modified thread?

[BrownEaredDog]

What a hateful thing

Those stuck-on hubcaps are just a disgrace.

[Diderot]

It’s an abomination.

[Oilchange]

Bluueeergh!


I've just been sick.

I don't understand why everyone is always so needlessly critical.

I am sure most of us don't want a modern car that's been made to look like a Morris Minor but if we did this would be a pretty good start.

I like that, my grandma had a Morris Minor until about 2 years ago and this looks very similar. She'd love a new one if thats what it is. Its cool.

If you draw a Venn diagram of the people who want a modern car and the people who want a car that looks like a Morris Minor, it's just two circles with a gap between them.

In many ways it's awful, yet at the same time I don't actually mind that much.

I quite like the chutzpah of that.

My first thoughts too.

[Austin Prefect]

But it doesn't look like a Morris Minor, it's just obviously meant to remind you of one while looking ridiculous.

There's nothing wrong with the concept of a modern Morris Minor, I think the BMW Mini is closer to that than to being a modern mini. But this isn't it.

Ooh Betty.

Apparently, not because someone built this.

It's awful, but at least it's interestingly awful.

Not my taste. The Fiat 500 is the epitome of cute. The Minor is a good looker in a scaled down 1943 Plymouth kind of way. Add to this the fact that a Minor can be made close to new if that’s what you want. I could see a point if the Minor were rare or even if there were not millions of 500s around.

If it doesn't look like a Morris minor why did anyone mention it?

Because it has a warped version of a Morris Minor front end on it.
