Seen in the Silicon Valley.

 

Darn it....I'll flip it tomorrow.

 

Is this the Australian model?

 

Nope. (Phunny.....I've flipped the photo the right way now.)

Guess again.

 

Here's a couple more shots:

 

OK....I'll tell more.

I saw the car parked one day and took the above photos, thinking it was just a cool looking old Nash, though I was a bit confused by the "Cooper" on the tailgate. Then, about two weeks later, I see the same car on the freeway on my drive home from work. As traffic came to a near stop, I managed to maneuver my way next to the car and gave the driver a thumbs up. He then rolled down his window and said something I couldn't quite make out. He then shouted something about the dash and pointed to his dash and my car (an '06 JCW cabriolet) and yelled something about the dash. I just nodded, thinking he was talking about the round speedos that were common to both cars. But he kept on yelling and pointing as if I didn't get what he was trying to communicate. He then pulled slightly ahead and I looked over and what do I see inside?.........a Mini Cooper dash! He then managed to make it clear to me that what he was driving was a Mini with a Nash Rambler body. Later I found a short bit on the internet that explained that the Mini was near totaled and was rescued, the body panels stripped off and the Nash body grafted on. I suspect that the engine was modified as well as when the traffic cleared, we both hit the gas and he kept right up with me.

 

Unique, but ugly (to me). Looks like it came out of a cartoon.....

 

Man I love that car. Looks great to me.
