There is no Mini involved as far as I'm aware.

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question? This was built as an exhibition piece, yes.

Is that a 'Future Vehicle', in the idea of its author? Like a spaceship-car? Can't see the reason of a car with no windows...

I guess it has no windows, because you don't sit in the car, but on top of it.  ;)

Wendax is on the right track, the design purpose of this car is to sit on it! So that is the purpose, now what is the name of the car?

No this has nothing to do with bread baking.  ;D

I don't have a date for this, but I believe it is later than this.

Those wheels are tiny. Is it based on a go-kart ?

I don't know the exact base car, just manufacturer, so it's possible that kart wheels were used but I cannot say with certainty I'm afraid.
