Thought I'd post a few pics of my mates Mini, its a wee cracker. Can't remember the full spec but its a 1380 MED engine ,286 cam, 45 Weber and is pretty rapid and LOUD.
Apologies for the photoshoppedness

Little beaut, but suspect the lights weigh more than the car.

Is it for sale ?

(I saw the Paddy Hopkirk interview on the news the other night - now smitten, although new WRC MINI is a pig).

Lovely had a few

.Takes me back to my first rusty Mini van with no syncro in first ,learning double clutching

slide windows, air vent in the roof, eight track player with Paul & Simon's Mrs Robinson making me deaf, the tapes came with the mini I very much hasten to add....Mine was fitted with town and country tyres about £8 quid each as I was doing a lot of shooting off road at the time . Oh and my best memory

sitting by the fire grinding in valves after I blew the head time after time

LOL yeah they are a bit OTT and with the four pot calipers on the front I wouldn't be surprised to see it doing a stoppie.
p.s just noticed that my camera was set to 3 mega pixels when I took the pics

It might be , he is considering selling it and getting a 111R, he's had mini's for the last 20 years and fancies a change.

Could be a long queue if that appears in the classifieds.
