Meredith Mini Special goes Dutch

It's good to know that the Meredith Mini Special survives. I did receive a few pictures of it recently, showing the car on its Dutch registration '03-YD-10', which it received after it was sold from the UK 10 years ago and imported to The Netherlands next. Yes, it's a bit of a Triumph-Ford-Mini-hybrid, which was made by Douglas Meredith of Welshpool (click here). 

Anybody who knows where in this country the car is now? It doesn't seem to come out very o=ften, but I'd love to see it in person one day.


The 'Mini by Meredith' mixes body elements of Ford, Triumph and Mini

Blurred plate seems to be the British one (KEJ 411P) here, taken prior to re-registration?

It is on Dutch plate '03-YD-10' since 2014 and does come out rarely, or so it seems

Outside seems most unusual, but there's no doubt this is a Mini engine, an 1100

Seats and more bits of the interior came from a Mini 1100 Special also. Where is the car?
