Anyone here remember the original "Hairlip Mini" fiasco on Mini Mania?
There is a "Hairlip" Mini just showed up in the classifieds over there with a rather high price.

Lol I remember. This car looks pretty nice. Makes you wonder what they were thinking.
Oh yeah, the good o'l days... There were some real battles going on.
Sure does make one wonder, though, as to why not just do the job right... :-[
That's a really nice looking car - I don't know if it's $22K good looking, but it's nice. The hood is weird tho, why wouldn't they just cut off the lip and do it right?
Yeah the price tag is outrageous for a 998. Those lips are just spot welded on.
I see some guy in Tulsa has a car for sale on MiniMania too - paint it any color you want! 4.gif
Yeah and it needs to go! I'm not needing any more minis for myself!

Thats a lot of scratch, the Porsche I am looking at is much less than that costs. What is the hairlip reference about, is it the leading edge of the hood? It does look amiss.
Yeah it's got mk1 trim but then they tossed on a mk3 bonnet chrome piece that doesn't match up.
