Looks like a Mini that was built by Alain P for his daughter 20 + years ago.
If it is; it has been repainted because it was bright yellow. But not pea green metallic...

It's really just the union jack that clashes with the car, a White roof would look good, or go all out and paint the roof the orange on the radiator.

Sharp looking car. The color, well not my first choice, but I would live with it, maybe.

NICE work.. Looks tidy But NOT easy on the eyes!

I like it, not the color but it has a little personality.  Of course I'm not a purist on any of my cars.

What's that colour "metallic pea soup"?
and the rooftop flag is not a proper Union Jack.
All that work to put a high level of finish into the car, and there's still a toggle switch dangling.
