MINI Truck?????

OK so I had a glass of wine and got to thinking!! With MINI coming out with all these new models, What about a MINI mini truck ,Let's say take a Clubman and take off the roof right behind the front seats, and make from behind the front seatsto the end make a micro mini truck bed,,??? What do you guys think??? It could be possible, any photoshop people on here?

P.S. Attention MINI ,if you use my idea, I will take one in Spice Orange, Thank you

They did a classic Mini pickup, do a Google search for "Classic mini Pickup" to see. There's no reason a modern one can't be made. There's already a Clubvan available in Europe.

Yeah, have you ever been inside a classic Mini trucklet? They are TINY inside, anyone over about 5'5" is gonna have a tough time with it.....

Same would be true on a Clubman version, having that upright window right behind you makes it very difficlut to have normal sized people in there.

I like the idea, but maybe do it on the Countryman chassis, for a little more room inside?

Sombody had a picture of a Red Bull MINI at the bottom of a California canyon not long ago. If you're good with a wrench and a paint brush I'll bet is would polish out.
