The Mini is a 20th century icon and to celebrate its 50th birthday expert car trader Mike Brewer has got a major plan. Buy a cheap little run about and create a one-off, eye catching, customised Wheeler Dealers special.

He’s got up to five grand to spend in total, but first he’s got to find the perfect secondhand motor. There are plenty of Minis out there, all ages and all prices. They need a car with a sound body and engine, so they can spend the money on the fun stuff that will make their car unique.

After finding the right Mini for £700 Mike hands it over to Edd to begin the transformation. It is left to Edd to create a celebration model Mini enthusiasts would be proud of, but can he pull it off and make the mini world proud?
