We car enthusiasts can be guilty of taking ourselves too seriously. But cars like this show we do in fact have a sense of humour. It's great fun.

For those who find the regular Mini isn't quite 'mini' enough, we give you the 'Shorty' - an almost comically short version of Alec Issigonis' revolutionary compact car. To make things more entertaining still, this one is also offered sans roof!

As the photographs show, this Mini is in good condition and boasts a striking colour scheme.

The vendor tells us:

"I bought this mini 1 year ago. As far as I no the car was built 12 years ago and has been laying in a barn for at least 10 years . Since I’ve had the car, I have fitted a new battery a new set of tyres, and reupholstered the seats. New carpet has been fitted, new bumpers new grill, and new chrome all round. The car is driving well but still needs a few small bits look at. Maybe needs a new handbrake cable other than that it driving very well."
