    The original Range Rover has the same wheelbase as the current model Mini.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    So the New Mini has middle-age spread... they could turn it into a 4wd and market it as the new mini-RR.

    Are you sure about this Vlad? I though the first production RR had a 108 inch (2743 mm) wheelbase, while current Minies have a 100 inch (2547 mm) wheelbase.

    Ah, thanks Digger. Now I understand. It is Mike the chicken that had the 108 inch wheelbase, or he did untill he lost his head; and then he only had 100 inches. Ain't nature just wonderful.

    Cheers

    Course I'm not that's the fun thing about net facts !
    Maybe the Clubman ?

    Maybe the overall length of the mini = rr wheelbase ?
    who knows.

    No - 100" from the start. There was just a (vogue LWB?) model in the middle that was 108".
