I'd wager that other designers had the same reaction.

I like the changes to lights... subtle but cool. I have never seen that before

I guess Enzo DOES have the cred to call the Mini "ugly"... Love those lights - surprised no-one has made a MOD piece with that configuration in the past - I'd do that conversion.

I'm not so sure I like all those larger lights cluttering up the front end like that.

Very different indeed. Don't recall ever seeing a configuration like that on any Mini before. I too wonder what happened to this Mini.
Enzo probably owned a Fiat 600 as well.

when you think about it, i doubt enzo would buy any mini. it is probably custom built, and that would explain not seeing those lights that often.

Dr. Dave,
It is I who owe you an apology. I'm so dense. I suffer from tunnel vision at times and never looked at anything except that Mini. Duh! Yeah, that is an Enzo in the background.
Sorry. All clear.

Meno. No prob. Hopefully you'll be a MMW 2008. Stop by for beers. Should be a great show.
