Been browsing Moggy Minor sites & came across this cool looking "ute". Well, I like it anyway.

Tis true.
I ran about for a couple of years in a bog standard Moggy, very similar to this, but without the roof chop. Just a cab unit on chassis rails. No photos unfortunately.
I eventually shoved in a 1600 twin cam Fiat Mirafiori engine & built a proper steel pickup bed. No piccies of that either.  :(

Never got it set up properly. Very unreliable, but when it was running well it did make me grin.  ;D

Go for it -though the Moggy Owner's Club I used to belong to -Surrey/Hants Borders branch, would've lynched you for even thinking of it!

Well I spoke to members of a local mini club at the Wessex show, and they said if I had a mini-engined trike I'd be welcome!

I've now got a Moggy Minor cab back & 2 Moggy wheels.
Give me enough time & I'll have an entire car in kit form! :)

Bobbi, one of Janie & Dave's neighbours is selling a 205 Peugeot auto. 400 quid.
Could make a nice trike motor. ;)
