Nobody has any objections to anyobody modifying Minis. Modifying is all part of the fun and lots of us do it, including myself. The concern is over description and price when advertising. Obviously the more non-original a car is the more careful you have to be when describing it and the less it is worth. Is it a 'restoration' if you use a non-original engine block? I think most people would agree that it isn't.
This is not 'bullying', it is clarification. Nobody wants to see potential purchasers being misled, even if it is accidental.
