Remember when they put that crappy C6 Corvette steering wheel in the Chevy Cobalt?

I was wondering about that myself. Seems Raph kind of mangled my original submission of

Reverse:

That yacht might be too big even for the palace. Anyway I like the notion of a Mini bouncing down the stairs and sliding around corners - sort of like an indoor Italian Job.

Buckingham Palace. The public rooms are huge and all connected by double doorways and big hallways. I think a Monte Carlo Rally Mini could navigate the stairs nicely.

Kinja seems to randomly pick a section of the photo as your annotation, no matter what area you have specifically chosen.

Ok, a little sleuthing found that the car was merely featured in the What Are You Working On? segment where they feature viewers projects.

Gearz TV? The Miata on Stacy David's Gearz had a 302 Ford and a swoopy body kit. They called it the Banshee.

The Monkeemobile was a highly orchestrated product placement instigated by Screen Gems (the show producers), MPC models (where Dean Jeffries did some model design) and Pontiac.

The Monkeemobile's outrageous Ed Roth-inspired style was de rigueur back in the mid 60s. Like many other TV show cars, full size versions hit…

Two-tone Veilside body kit, painted over-sized wheels, garish multicolor interior, BOPA, and a salvage title? That's a CP Yahtzee right there.
