My mate's mini is quite cool, it's a proper Italian Job special edition from 1993 with a Zeemax kit and 7x13 wheels (you know, those 8 spoke ones which look like minilites )
This is the only pic I can find of it though 

He's also got one of these -

In exactly that colour scheme 
He used to have a van too, which you could see the sky through the roof, and a black 1000cc saloon with checkerboard pattern all over the interior and dash 
His van was this colour

He was considering VTEC for his red one, but decided it was too expensive and is currently getting a Metro Turbo engine installed, which will make as much power as a CTR, without any of the problems the VTEC conversion poses.

Malta pics are cool, love the white & Red one with the zeemax kit too!
I'm thinking a cooper, in pearl white with white minilite alloys, and the chrome grill / mirros / bumpers will all be black.

are you going to convert one or buy it ready done? I guess if its a project you are doing the former?

Buying a diesel corsa for pennies, driving that about whilst the standard mini gets converted.
