The Mini is known for its pint-sized proportions – but one mechanic has taken tiny to the next dimension by shrinking the classic car to fit inside his motorhome

The proportions appear to look all wrong and where is the nearside (LHS) ramp!

I have to agree with the last two posters. was it shrunk on a computer? There is definitely something not right with the photo.

Could have done better with a ragtop instead of a solid roof... Deffo could loose another 1.5 ft of headroom... lol

Yeah, it does look a bit strange the passenger side ramp is missing, but then again, you can see the windows of the motorhome through the side window on the car, so whoever did the photoshop job, spent a lot of time at it...

There are some in Ireland and quite a few in the UK. They come up from time to time on ebay.

No different than a Kit car, worst case the car would have to go through an SVA now called IVA and job done.
