Surfing around the Mini Mania website came across this neat Mini, a Wildgoose camper. Apparently a factory-built motorhome on a Mini chassis, never heard of one before. Couldn't isolate the picture but here's the link below... BTW this particular example is for sale in New York State.

I tried to imagin the thought proccess of the person or persons who came up with the idea for and designed that. All brain cells involved with the exercise temporarily stopped functioning.

Its neet and all, but the guy should have shown a picture of someone standing beside it, and someone sitting inside it with the top and table up. Just to lend perspective on how compleatly inpractical that thing is as a "camper".

I did do some brief internet research, and they apparently didn't sell very many of them, I wonder why...
 
That second one just looks unsafe. Its not hard to imagine why only 3 were built...
 
Here's a Wild Goose that was at "Spring Thing" in 2001. It used to "live" in Washington state, but has Moved to the Florida Keys! It's seen more of the US than I have. If I'm not mistaken, this car went to the UK for the Minis 40th birthday party.

Hmmm... Your Wild Goose camper is clearly a different design than the first one, were there more than one version built I wonder?
