SPECIAL K

It’s taken the dedication of three separate owners to get there, but Richard Sharp’s K-headed Pickup is a real show stopper.

This Pickup in Lamborghini Super Fly Yellow is undeniably something special – and that’s before you even lift the bonnet or get behind the wheel! With its Specialist Components 1380cc K1100RS engine tuned to give 139bhp, it goes like the clappers. To get to this stage, three very passionate owners have made their mark on the car – taking it on a journey of evolution that has resulted in it being where it is now… happily in the hands of Mini enthusiast Richard Sharp who finished off the project.

When Richard got hold of the Pickup, he could have stripped it back and started from scratch but instead he decided to take the build further and finish off what the original owner had started back in 2011, while adding his own unique take on it…

“It’s nice that it’s been a bit of a process with everyone involved making their mark. I’m not sure if the previous guys would have gone down the carbon route or gone for the LED gauges… it’s all a bit Max Power!” laughs Richard, referring to that illuminated dash which finishes the Pickup off to perfection.
