The chances of stumbling upon a Mini based Phoenix, as designed and marketed by Paul Haussauer in the 1980s, are a zillion times smaller than bumping into whatever supercar. So how about these pictures?
I remember well that when I was looking for a nice and clean Phoenix Estate to photograph for Maximum Mini 2, it wasn't quite as easy as it seemed. Despite 63 cars built they were thin on the ground. And the ones I was noticed about were in a pretty sorry state. Eventually I found a beauty of a car owned at the time by Sandra Payne. But I was really happy to see these pictures of three Phoenixes together at Bingley Hall, as photographed by Steve Locke recently. It's great to see that these cars are loved and cared for now. Well done owners!
That's one, two, three Mini based Phoenix Estates parked in a row!

63 Of them were made between 1982 and 1986, but finding one is not all too easy
