It was supposed to be this Mini, but I'm not sure in reality if it was the same Mini or if they used more than 1 for the TV series. Anyway, how we de list these if barely anything was left from Mini?

 I think this type of racer was for Silhouette category in the 80s for club events/championships. No emphasis on retaining bits from the original model apart from looking like one, so they were purpose-built racing chassis under fibreglass, and as long as engine stayed in same place (front or rear) as original, you could bung in whatever you liked.

Which means that this orange creation was never built in reality from a boggo red Mini 1000, whatever the scriptwriters might want you to believe.
