'Wideboy' custom Mini goes up for sale

The original Mini was known for its ability to seat four adults in a far smaller space than anybody thought possible. However, if you've just had your third child or simply fancy a bit more room to stretch out, help could be at hand with this incredible custom-built 'Wideboy' Mini, posted for sale on eBay.

Look at the car initially and it can take a few seconds to figure out what exactly you're looking at. This classic Mini has had its bodywork widened by around 60cm, putting it at around 2 metres wide compared to the 1.4m of the original car.
