This is my old Mini from many moons ago, and also the the car that I very nearly died in! originally Inca yellow, I bought it as an MOT failure, only needing a new rear subframe to put it back on the road, unfortunately, the same day it was re MOT'd, I went over a crossroads and collided with a brand new Merc that had shot a red light! despite wearing a seat belt, I went straight though the windscreen! the headlights ended up somewhere near the scuttle panel the impact was so hard...
Mini was recovered to my workshop, and some weeks later, a mate said "Bet you cant straighten that" well I did, and this is how it ended up looking..., and won quite a few trophies with it :wink:
Got some more pics somewhere, I'll see if I can find them...

Was my uncle driving the mini to the garage for my mum, overtaking 4X4 didn't see it coming!
Thats why if I ever get a mini I'd get it fitted with a cage!
