Default My friends mini
Thought i would post some pics of my mates new toy,this car was actually built for hillclimbs in 1996 by him and his mate (was his mates at the time)but never got used for the hillclimbs ,in the last 10 years it has done 2.500 miles ,so my friend Dave bought it off his mate.
Spec
Full weld in cage
1400cc on twin s u carbs
twin buckets (matching one to be refitted)
race harnesses
straight cut box
quick shift
battery behind driver
plumbed in fire extingiushire
rose jointed
twin pot calipers
Went out in it the other night and really surprised how well it handles,gearing means it does 70mph in 2nd gear

I was never a fan of minis until my mate took me out in his - they are so much fun round corners

Loving your mates one

Gorgeous, really liking that! Not too over the top looks wise, just an extremely tidy example with all the right bits on as it should be My Brother's on with building a stripped out road legal track mini at the mo with a 1400 turbo motor in it, should be fun
