As if standard minis dont leak enough or run crabways enough someone decides to extend the length and lob the roof off!!! Madness, looks like good enough work mind which is fair enough.

Only a few peeps know this so keep it quiet please

.........but the first 7 or 8 cars I owned were Mini's (standard 850 with a fibreglass front was my first car at 17yrs old).........Most of he others were 1275 / 1293 Cooper S's - all modified cars

Also owned a Wood & Pickett Mini De-Ville, fully de-seamed, Conolly leather interior, Margrage Elite dash etc - It's the ONE car I regret selling.

Was looking on Piston Heads because I've got this MAD idea that I should buy another W & P or even a Radford mini and keep it for a couple of years.......purely a nostalgia thing....will prob never happen

Think I might be able to find ONE pic of it outside Mike Read's house (the Radio 1 DJ) in Cobham as I was working there............will take a photo of the photo and post it up.

No it was used, the price of a NEW full W & P conversion back then would have been the same as the price of a semi-detached house in Surbiton - we're talking Ł 30 - 40 K .......This was late 70's dont forget.

The only people ordering new W & P Mini conversions we're film stars, stockbrokers and titled folk.
