Our siblings over at Autoblog already covered a couple of the Castagna modifications but I was particularly interested in this Mini modification. Classic Driver profiles the Tender, a mod of the Mini Cabrio that is designed for nautical types. The rear is lengthened and the car has a fixed-access compartment with anti-theft bars instead of normal doors. It has a teak-lined steel double bottom for towels and clothes plus a shower with a 30-liter tank of fresh water and a powerful stereo for beach parties. Other details include extra headlights for lighting those parties and a brightly-striped cloth top from Missoni. The seats are upholstered in neoprene so they won't be damaged in you hop in the car all salty from the sea. Other options include additional seats and four load hooks so that the Tender can be lifted up onto your yacht.
