I remember this from many years ago, there were also a number of cars built using a shortened Capri flor plan with the complete Minor bodyshell grafted ontop so you got the benefits of the Capri's suspension/brakes/engine but the looks of the Minor, they were very well done.

I think I’m inclined to agree with you Paul I’m a big Capri fan as well as a moggy fan and that probably the best thing to do with it/them
