Looks like it! It also looks like they flopped them from one side to the other. Right = left, left = right to get the cross eyed look.

I've seen Mini headlights used in a few old custom cars I've seen at car shows... Looks really good on the ones I've seen so far!

Very interesting...doesn't look too awful....can anybody tell who makes the wheels? From some angles they almost look like Volks...

Who owns Morgan now anyway?

i think they are put in backwards. The headlight washer cover is on the outside... rather than the inside

Morgan is its own company no one owns it. The Morgan Aeromax is the coupe version of the Morgan Aero 8, it's body work is made out of wood, does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and has 367HP.

and the head lights are indeed stolen from MINI

I think it looks GREAT! I went to Barrett Jackson in PHX in Feb, and a bunch of hotrods had hijacked MINI Headlights! COOL COOL COOL If I can afford it we plan to go again this comming Feb. Pretty cool of my wife and two girls to want to go with me. If I may say so myself! Because I am far from able to buy!! I love to look at all those awesome cars!

Here is a new Morgan clone, the Mitsuoka, which also has MINI headlights.

Real or the Magic of Computer aided Photoshop

I wonder if this particular car isnt merely a cyber photo.....some parts appear to be photoshopped in.

Wow! Are these MINI headlights?-42167.jpg

The turn indicators look almost like they came from the Land Rover Defender parts bin.

Maybe it belongs to James Bond....

That pic is PS'd but its a real car. A lot of the BMW guys do this effect to showcase the engine bay. I like the BBS CH wheels...
