Bummer!
When I look at more modern cars... Excels etc and can push the door panels in, I think...thank god Im teaching my kids to drive in a small car thats actually made from metal and not tin foil. Things could have been a lot worse! Glad your ok.
Could you could get one of those fibreglass body shells and rebuild it?

Bugger!

Thank God nobody was badly hurt.
People think Minis are dangerous, just because they are small, but IMO there are far worse cars to have a bad prang in.

I was front passenger in an 850 in `65 that went head on into a tree, very bad prang. Tree went thru radiator and stopped 12" into the roof. Hey, 21 weeks in hospital, but I'm still here...

My son 5 years ago was front passenger in his Clubby, they hit a Camry head on, hey he's still here too. :wink:

I've seen lots of bent Minis, but their occupants all survived. Chalk another one up for the car of the century.. 8)
